New wood!

[Woodchipper]

Got some quebracho pen blanks at Woodcraft a while back. Decided to pay around with it. Started research on it. I looked at this website (saved it, too)-https://www.wood-database.com/. Found it's off my Janka scale I keep in the shop- database shows 4,750! And I thought Arbor vita was hard! Name translates roughly, "axe breaker." Anyone use it before?

Never heard of that one.

New to me, too. Sale item at Woodcraft. It wasn't on the Janka list I printed off a few years ago for reference. As I said, it is off that scale. Highest was Brazilian ebony at about 3700. BTW, Arbot vita was not listed, either.
