All this talk about soft hardwoods and which woods are best for carving got me curious. I came across a couple of websites that depict types of wood by something called the "Janka" scale. The Janka scale is used to categorize a type of wood by its hardness.
Here are two websites: One lists hardness alphabetically. The other lists by its degree of hardness.
