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.

Excited for this project!
The paper-backed cherry veneer I ordered arrived. I set it out, unrolled, for 4-5 days. Upon inspection, I could see this was JUST what I was looking for. Interesting grain and quality wood. Yesterday I have cut it down to application size (my mantle is 14 by 72 inches) I was able to fit in the BEST grains I could imagine. Application is likely a few days away -- but I will let you know and see when done.

Very nice veneer
Used this veneer to cover plywood sides I used to make a dresser for my wife. Very easy to work with. No defects. My only complaint was the shipping charge. It's a bit outrageous. $32.00 to send something that weights about a pound is crazy even if it is going to PA.

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.
