Wood Species

Dark Walnut

Walnut wood features a rich chocolate-brown color, a Janka hardness of 1,010 lbf, and a smooth finish that makes it a top choice for fine furniture.

  • Janka Hardness: Rates at 1,010 lbf (4,490 N), making it softer than hard maple or red oak, but harder than cherry.

  • Weight: Average dried weight of about 38 lbs/ft³ (610 kg/m³).

  • Durability: Offers natural resistance to decay, shock, and everyday wear.

  • Stability: Holds its shape exceptionally well after seasoning and drying

  • Grain: Typically fine and straight, though wavy or curly variations occasionally appear in root crotches

Ash

Color and Grain: Features a pale white-to-yellow sapwood and a light-to-medium brown heartwood with a straight grain and coarse, uniform texture.

Hardness: Rates around 1,320 lbf on the Janka hardness scale, making it comparable in hardness to red oak.

Strength and Shock Resistance: Offers exceptional impact resistance and strength relative to its weight, absorbing heavy blows without shattering.

Flexibility: Ranks among the absolute best hardwoods for steam bending, flexing easily without breaking when processed.

Durability: Exhibits high durability for indoor use, but rots quickly when exposed to outdoor moisture.

Oak

Color: Varies by species. White Oak ranges from light beige to brown with an olive tint, while red oak features pinkish and reddish hues.

Grain & Texture: Generally straight-grained with a coarse, uneven texture and visible growth rays.

Hardness: Highly durable and tough. White oak measures around 1,360 lbf on the Janka hardness scale, and red oak measures 1,290 lbf.

Durability: High tannin levels make oak naturally resistant to fungal decay and insect attacks. White oak offers superior water resistance due to closed cellular pores.

Maple

  • Standard Grain: Generally straight and uniform with a fine, smooth texture.

  • Figured Varieties: Highly prized specialty patterns can occur, including:

    • Birdseye: Tiny, swirling circular marks resembling little eyes.

    • Curly/Fiddleback: A rippled, three-dimensional wave pattern.

    • Spalted: Distinct dark contrasting streaks caused by natural fungal interaction.

    • Janka Hardness: Hard maple (Sugar Maple) measures about 1,450 lbf, making it significantly harder than red oak. Soft maple varieties rate lower (around 700 to 950 lbf).

    • Durability: Rated as non-durable to perishable regarding decay resistance outdoors, meaning it requires a protective sealant or finish if used outside.

380-780lbf

Pine

  • Density and Weight: Ranges from lightweight to moderately heavy (352 to 560 kg/m³), making it easy to handle and machine.

  • Hardness: Classified as a softwood, meaning it is softer and more prone to dents and scratches than hardwoods like oak or maple.

  • Strength: Offers good bending and compressive strength despite its softness, providing solid structural stability for framing and furniture.

  • Dimensional Stability: Resists shrinking and swelling well when properly dried, though un-cured wood can warp or twist.
