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.

Two pieces had to be replaced due to cracks
Two pieces had nasty cracks that rendered them useless for cutting boards. Probably turning too, unless you were making a very skinny part.

New customer first time order.
This is the first time I purchased wood stock for a project sight unseen. I am totally happy with the pieces i received for my cutting board project. The 1 3/4" square sticks were to size except for on stick that had some material missing on one end. Since the stock was much thicker than my cutting board will finish I will just remove a little less material from that one side. The wood grain on all of the pieces were clean, no knots, and the lengths were within the tolerance called out in the description on the web page. I will consider ordering from woodworkersource.com for future projects.
