∙ 12y agoWood hardness is rated on the Janka scale, which measures how many pounds of force it takes to drive a 0.444" steel ball halfway into a piece of something. Lignum vitae, at 4500 Janka, is the hardest wood there is. The next hardest wood is nearly 1000 pounds softer.
See Quebracho (schinopsis lorentzii) from Argentine with 4700 Janka !!!!

∙ 14y agoHardwood is the common way that deciduous trees are classified. The opposite is true for softwood. It is the classification for coniferous trees. the hard or soft distinction has nothing at all to do with how hard or soft the wood actually is.
If the tree has leaves that fall in autumn, it is a hardwood and it it has needles, it is a softwood.
