Janka Hardness is incredibly useful in directly determining how well a wood will withstand dents, dings and wear
The test involves measuring the force required to embed a .444" steel ball into wood to half its diameter.
It is one of the best ways to determine the ability of a wood species to withstand denting and wear.
