David,

That's a different slant, to my way of thinking.

I.E. Compare all the 100 year old barns sprinkled around the country side.

Those with the bowing roofline and are falling down were most likely built with the softer pine; and yes, they are "bending".

Those that are still standing straight & strong were built using the tougher, harder fir.

Bending is the last quality I would want for construction if I was building something to last for a long, long time; although I know it is the most popular. But still, pine is the softest wood going.

Also, you failed to mention, it is by far the cheapest.

Allan
