Title: Wood Research- Good Link
Post by: gables on September 08, 2010, 04:59:00 PM

I have followed topics on this site about wood selection. Many knife makers seem to prefer very dense woods because of durability and ease of finishing. Wood density is rated on the Janka scale. Here is a good site for Janka ratings. Make sure to scroll throughout the page.
