The Janka Hardness Scale was invented in 1906 to rate the hardness of wood species. It lists various tree species and their corresponding Janka hardness rating, which is a measure of how resistant the wood is to denting and wear. The harder woods like Lignum Vitae (4500) and Ipe (3680) receive the highest Janka ratings, while softer woods like Balsa (88) and Okoumé (240) receive the lowest ratings. The scale provides both the common and botanical names of over 70 tree species alongside their Janka hardness numbers.
