    Default Janka hardness test

    I didn't do this but it made me laugh. Check out the softest timber on Wikipedias "Janka hardness test' entry.

    No not quite, fixing it would have been moving it up with the denser species, not deleting it completely...

    its a hardness test, not density!!! your right though, should be at the top of the list cause everyone knows Collingwood, although has some seasonal instability, is as hard as nails!

    I think you are confusing hardness with thick skin...
