wood types

Wood types mainly fall into softwoods and hardwoods. Softwoods come from coniferous trees like pine and cedar; they’re generally lighter, easier to work with, and often used in construction and furniture. Hardwoods come from deciduous trees such as oak, maple, and cherry; they tend to be denser, more durable, and are popular for fine furniture and flooring. The choice depends on the project’s strength, appearance, and budget. Both types have varying grain patterns and colors, offering a wide range of aesthetic and functional options for different applications.
