Density (Hardness) of various wood

[RockyMnt1]

Does anyone know of a website that lists various woods in the order of hardness or density?? I recently had a piece of Brazilian redwood in my hands and it felt like lead!! I was just intereted in how the other woods stacked up...

These may not get you a list of hardness but they may give you a starting place.

Another Wood Identification Website

I don't know how to hide the links or make them appear as their title with the new software.

Hope this helps or at least gives you a start.

This one is the Specific Gravity table. I think it related to the density.
But it seems like the first link above is easier to put into perspective.
There are other calc in the post also that may come in handy.
