Cedrus deodara
Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 580 lbf (2580 N) and a density of about 0.52 g/cm³. It originates from india and south asia.
With radial shrinkage of 2% and tangential shrinkage of 4.5% (a T/R ratio of 2.25), it is moderately stable — allow for seasonal movement in wide boards. Its fiber saturation point is around 30%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
