Woody, the tensil strength as listed is 6000 psi if that means anything to you. It is a very tough , dense material that machines well. Then we need to add microballoons to get it to float, and this affects the overall strength. The more buoyant the less strength. Now if you have the mixture similar to Maple, it would be strong enough to use screw eyes for hook attachment. If I'm not mistaken I do believe The Greek was working on some needles.
