What Does The Janka Hardness Rating Mean?
The Janka hardness test is the international standard for measuring the resistance of a sample of wood to denting and wear.
It's expressed in psi, or pounds-per-square-inch. The test measures the pressure required to embed an 11.28mm (.444 in) diameter steel ball into wood to half the ball's diameter. The measurement was developed to determine whether a species is suitable for use as flooring; however, we include it here and compare it to the rating of red oak to help you make a buying choice.
There is a difference between hardness and being difficult to work with. Generally speaking, the harder the wood the easier it is to finish and polish. Harder woods create good, solid long-lasting joinery in furniture.
The hardness of wood varies with the direction of the wood grain, and varies from piece to piece. So a Janka rating is an average of numerous tests performed on all directions and numerous pieces. Use the Janka hardness rating as guide, not a definitive answer.

Overall excellent
I've ordered quite a few times from WW Source; the convenience is the primary reason. What I have found is that orders are carefully selected, milled and shipped in a reasonable period of time. This order of 4/4 walnut was all 20mm in thickness and consistent width. Slight bowing in several pieces resulted in a final milled thickness of 17mm. There were minimal defects, no problem knots, minimal shipping damage but grain pattern was at best blah.\r\nSo:\r\nConvenience A\r\nProduct structural quality A-\r\nShipping B+\r\nAesthetics/grain C\r\n\r\nI have photos of these but found no way to include them with this evaluation. My advice is to allow photos and to double box your shipments.

Received bowed boards
3 of the 4 in the pack were bowed. The boards were already a small size but receiving them bowed means they will have to be planed again and even less material is usable. This might be normal for larger boards but small boards means I just wasted money.

The wood came exactly as described with no knots or splitting. Finish was great, all I had to do was cut to size and attach. Just some light sanding to finish. I was very pleased with the look and quality of the pieces.

Very good boards
I purchased 9 of these boards. Only 2 of them were bowed enough to worry about - one has just over a 1" rise across the total 6' length. I'll have to cut that one down, plane/join it flat, and use it as a shelf or something. The others are mostly flat, less than 1/4" of bow along the 6' length. All of them will need run through the joiner to achieve perfect straightness. I should end up with 1/2" straight and flat boards when finished, which works out great for me.\\n\\n3 boards have large knots, but only on one face of the board. I can probably hide the knots on this project, assuming they don't tear out in the planar, and the cathedrals on the opposite side are attractive. None of the boards have twist, which is great.\\n\\nAll the peices have nice grain and figure. They are all dimensioned to the same size. 3/4" x 5.5" x 6'.\\n\\nPackaging was good and shipping was reasonably fast. Only 1 board had a dent from shipping, and I think I can iron it out.\\n\\nAll in all, I'm happy with the product and couldn't really expect much better. Thanks guys!

Wood Moves - Here's What You Need to Know
Wood is like a sponge, and it's always in a state of absorbing or releasing moisture to stay equalized with its environment. The problem with that is it also swells and shrinks. Here's what you need to know to protect your project.
