Species Hardness |
Janka
Hardness is a test which measures the pounds
of force it takes to drive a .44" diameter
steel ball 1/2 its depth into wood. These numbers
are taken from various publications but principally
are from the U.S. Forest Products lab. The higher
the number the harder the species. |
