It's quite a nice wood, actually. I've seen century old SYP floors
that were still serviceable.

I've used SYP for ice rink boards, they seem to last about as long as PT,
maybe a little less but are much cheaper.

A good bunch of the PT around here is SYP.

It makes good tops on the lathe, but I haven't found any wood that's
unsuitable for that yet. (I've found unsuitable trees and some are better
than others, but pretty much any wood seems to work... Even plywood.)
