    Hard Wood - working it

    White oak and hard maple are the hardest woods I have ever used. How do you find working woods above 3000 on the attached Janka scale?

    What do they do to your power tools? Are there particular problems?

    What about hand tools: saws, planes, chisels, cabinet scrapers?

    How about sanding and finishing?

    I find myself wanting to use something a little more exotic. What should I expect?
