I am involved in building a homemade lumber drying kiln right now and have been studying what I can find on the 'net about it. It seems that the strength of the wood depends on the drying process as well as the species. Non-mil-spec lumber might not have been dried using the process that gives the most strength. Check that out. The drying process is quite complicated.
