Question wood hardness vs bending resistance
I have found several wood hardness scales.

Does anyone have a similar scale for resistance to bending?

Thanks, DobroDan

Here you go:
Strength Properties of Commercially Important Woods
The second column is the one you want. (Static Bending Modulus of Elasticity (E)). All other things being equal, the higher this number, the stiffer the wood (won't bend as much)

If you're curious about more details, try this:

Hello and welcome.
From my woodworking experience, some wood will react very willingly to bending if you steam or heat it. a research on a specific specie's bending method will give you alot more clue. Also, don't forget you can laminate.
