I have been trying to find information about the degree of hardness of various hardwoods, with no luck using google. For instance, I've used a little flame box elder, which is pretty soft compared to the mesquite I have. I recently started using a bit of cherry (I think) which is so strong that I was able to reduce the size of the hair fork tines that I make, which looks amazingly graceful in comparison to some earlier ones.

This must be common knowledge, if one knows where to look...
Thanks in advance!

Here is a link. Wood hardness, hope it helps.
