SYP is also the leader in raw material for PT (pressure treated) wood...i'm not too surprised however...since fast growth has been the trend...it yields more money for the producer.
Old growth timber with many growth rings per inch can be seen in lot of old lumber I have come across in remodels. The saying they just don't build em like the used to...has a lot to due with the raw materials
