What causes the hardness of the wood ???
David


Lignin is the substance found in wood that helps determine how hard the wood will be. The more Lignin present, the harder the wood and vice versa, the less present, the softer the wood.

Can you "beef-up" the wood by giving the tree lignin injections? ::)
