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.

Black Walnut
I ordered 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 boards to make it easier for me to make cutting board, not having planer or jointer. The boards varied size. Thats the reason for 4 stars. Being new to woodworking maybe I was expecting everything to be perfect, Other then that the wood looks good and I would recommend it .

Very good selection, perfectly straight and square. Freight was not cheap but not unexpected. This was sort of a test order for me and I was very satisfied with the quality, price, and shipping time.

Walnut turning blanks came as ordered and undamaged. The grain was true and tight with minimal variables in color from one piece to the next. I have expected quality from this vendor and have never been disappointed. \n\nBTW- I never give a perfect rating for any product.
