Anybody know where I can find a Janka scale that has all the wood, or most, on it? I am looking at a janka score for Canary wood and can't find it on any janka scale.

Other Names: Centrolobium microchaete, Canary Wood Description: Tarara wood is a colorful exotic located in the forests of Brazil and Bolivia. Its heartwood color can be bright yellow to orange with long distinctive streaks of purple, red, and black. Tarara is durable and hard, but also rated as easy to work with, which is why, combined with its inherent attractiveness, it is often a choice for furniture makers. It's grain is irregular and interlocked, and has a lustrous surface with a medium and uniform texture. Janka Hardness: 1,860 pounds Strength (MOR): 18,000 psi Stiffness (MOE): 2,130 1000 psi Density (KG/m3): 700 Tangential Shrinkage: 4.0 % Radial Shrinkage: 3.0 %

1860 is what I have found, Joe.
