Janka Hardness Test Results

The Janka Hardness Test measures the pounds of force required to embed a .44-inch diameter steel ball to half its depth into a piece of wood. This test is one of the best measurements of a wood species' ability to withstand denting and wear. It is also a good indicator as to how difficult a particular species will be to machine.
