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.

Precut table legs or similar, white oak
They arrived on time (I bought 8) and weren't damaged in shipping.\n\nTwo or three of the squares have planer ridges and slight burns; these marks are less than 1/16" and will certainly sand out with no problem. The lengths are mostly about even, although a couple will have to be crosscut because they are a bit longer or shorter than the others. Solid, high quality white oak, very nice.
