What determines a hard wood from soft wood?
The idea of 'hardwood'/'softwood' is a little confusing. Since many 'hardwoods' are softer than some 'softwoods'! What's the difference? Hardwoods are any deciduous tree that has a non-scaly or needle like leaf. Softwoods are generally, non-deciduos ('evergreen') trees with a needle like or scaly leaf. Think of Maple vs. White Pine.
What is broad leaf?
Broad"leaf`\, n. (Bot.) A tree (Terminalia latifolia) of Jamaica, the wood of which is used for boards, scantling, shingles, etc; -- sometimes called the almond tree, from the shape of its fruit.
Are leaves on a branch or a twig?
It depends. If the leaf is on a really small, thin piece of wood that extends from a tree that is less than an inch thick, the leaf is on a twig. If it is on a piece of wood extending from a tree that is thicker than an inch, it is considered to be on a branch.
Is spruse a hardwood?
No. It's a softwood. The difference isn't a matter of wood density. Softwoods come from needle-leaf trees, and hardwoods come from broadleaf trees. The softest wood in the world is balsa, which is extremely soft and lightweight...but because balsa trees are broadleaf, balsa is a hardwood. On the other hand, Radiata pine is roughly as hard as mahogany - which is unquestionably a hardwood - but because it's a needle-leaf tree it is a softwood.
How do you know from looking at a tree in the winter if it is a softwood or a hardwood?
There are books that show the grain patterns of different woods. If you can match the grain pattern of the wood you're looking at to a wood in the book, you can figure out what you have. The relative softness of the wood isn't a way to tell; some hardwoods are softer than some softwoods. Example: radiata pine and poplar. Poplar's softer than radiata pine, but radiata pine is a "softwood" because it comes from a needle-leaf tree.
