Does anyone know if Blueberry wood is considered hard or soft? I can't find the information anywhere.
I've been going through my woods looking for some of the wood and root structures of some of the trees I cut down when thinning out the woods looking for possible DIY drift wood pieces.
By far the most interesting shapes seem to come from the wild blueberry bushes- I picked out one about a foot long with all sorts of twists and turns- I'm currently soaking it in salt water hoping someone will come back and tell me it's fine!
My only other options are scrub oak and pine (not much else grows wild in my sandy soil besides persimmons and I left my few persimmon trees standing).
I know I can't use pine- but I do have a few pieces of oak I haven't disposed of.
The blueberry wood doesn't scratch when I stick my thumbnail into it (where the bark has been cleaned off already... started doing this before thinking... perhaps I should ask first)- is that a good enough test? Or is there a better way to test?
Google doesn't seem to be my friend this time around!
