Lignum Vitae is apparently 4500 on that hardness scale. Worked with a guy who liked to carve wood. He wanted to try LV. He gave up because his knives would only stay sharp for a couple of cuts.

Morning wood
When I was living on Palawan in the Philippines 
over 10 years back - the hardest and most expensive hardwood you could buy was called EPIL - it was very similar to Indonesian Ironwood - and people liked it because the termites didn't eat thru it - like just about every other wood out that way -

Don’t forget Redwood. Redwood is the most rot in termite resistant wood of all. The part of Florida that I live in his covered with Cypress trees in the mills sell it quite cheap. I built a gigantic arbor back in the late 70s at my first home, and that Cypress rotted apart in no time. The home I live in now is clad clear all heart vertical grain redwood that I bought in Dallas in 1999… I don’t believe you can find it anywhere for sale and if you do the prices are sky high…
