The op said precut studs.

op still did not say what kind of wood they were talking about even
though they clearly mentioned studs


OP probably didn't say because OP didn't know because
OP was not shopping at a specialty hardwood lumber
dealer, and general lumberyards don't say what kind
of wood they're selling. As clare said (and you
apparently missed), construction lumber is just called
"SPF". That's all the OP is likely to have known.

Actually in the South studs are also commonly made from SYP, Southern
Yellow Pine. Not the common P that is some times used in Spruce,
Pine, Fir.

Typically SYP is a much harder and heavier wood.


True. Around here (i.e. Fla), those are always seperate and
are marked as Southern Yellow Pine. The normal run of the mill
2-bys are just marked SPF (if they're marked as anything at all).
