Janka Hardness: 3684The wood of Brazilian Walnut (or Ipe) is incredibly hard and dense. It is 91% harder than Merbau, 126% harder than Wenge, and over two-thirds harder than Santos Mahogany's Janka rating of 2200. Grades of Brazilian Walnut Flooring:...
Wood's characteristics, such as grain, color, and hardness, are important considerations for craftsmen and builders, influencing its suitability for various applications. In contrast, the diversity within a forest, including types of trees, undergrowth, and animal species, defines its ecological identit...
They reported that varnished heat-treated wood had better performance (color change and hardness) than varnished untreated wood samples, while painted samples had similar performance on both heat-treated and untreated wood. Jamsa et al. [16] studied the weathering performance of four different ...
A common measurement of wood hardness is thejanka hardness test. The test measures the amount of force required to embed a .444″ diameter steel ball halfway into the wood. The results for each of the maple species are shown in the chart below. ...
