Dave:
Check your local library. In the category of boatbuilding there are books
that give woods and properties that are specific to boats like "Boatbuilding
Manual" by Robert Steward. There are also books in the cabinetry and
woodworking sections that give many detailed descriptions and even tests.
Take care,
