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.

Beautiful wood! Only 1-2 bowed, almost all look really great.
Beautiful wood! Only 1-2 bowed, almost all look really great.\r\n\r\nI'm using them to build floating frames around art I've made and it looks great - they're cut very precisely, almost all are very flat (had 1-2 bowed ones so far), and most have a very nice look. Pretty smooth too, no need to sand at lower grits.\r\n\r\nOverall super impressed and I'm getting more! :D

Great Quality!
I ordered two 3.5"x36" 1/4" boards and am very satisfied. Basically all heartwood! One board was dead straight, and the second had a little bowing, but not bad, especially for how thin it is! The figure looks great and there are no visible milling marks! Very happy with this being my first experience working with walnut!
