Great reply Roque,
I am working on data sheets that will appear on this site under the menu heading “Decking Advice”, I would be greatful if you could mail me details for Itauba, I can then add to my list.
I do agree that hardness should not be the only consideration, we have to consider stability and durability. If and when using some of the species that are more volatile in terms of stability then more substantial fixings should be considered.
