Furniture Woods
All woods used for making furniture fall into two categories:
hardwoods and softwoods, but the designation doesn't really have anything
to do with how hard or how soft the wood is. "Hardwood" identifies
the trees that lose their leaves seasonally and "softwood" refers
to those that keep their foliage all year.
Among the hardwoods frequently used in making furniture are ash, cherry,
maple, oak, pecan, teak, rosewood, walnut, mahogany and poplar. In the
softwood category are cedar, cypress, fir, pine and redwood.
