What are some examples of hardwoods?

Answer 1

Examples are Oak, Cherry, Birch, Maple, Walnut, Elm, Beech, Ash, Teak, Mahogany and Obeche.

Whether a wood is a softwood or a hardwood depends on the tree it comes from. Trees are either coniferous (which means they bear cones and have needle shaped leaves that stay green all year round) or deciduous (trees that have flat leaves that fall in autumn). The wood that comes from the coniferous tree is the softwood and the timber (wood) that comes from deciduous trees is known as hardwood.

Answer 2

There are several examples of hardwoods. They are mostly from angiosperm tress which are commonly found in tropical forests. Some of them are Oak, Maple, Walnut, Cherry, Birch and Poplar. The most commonly use of them is the Oakwood. They are perfect for making furnitures, cabinets, doors, floorings and a lot more. They are highly durable and can lasts for a long time.

Answer 3

The name "hardwood" has little to do with the hardness of the wood. Generally it means that the types of wood are not the wood of conifers like pine.

Examples of hardwood are: Oak, Ash, Thorn, Beech, Chestnut, teak, mahogany, and balsa. It might seem strange to include balsa as a hardwood, but it certainly is wood and it certainly is not a conifer like fir, pine, yew or larch. Some such "softwoods" are anything but soft.

Some people speak of other ways to tell them apart, such as whether the wood comes from evergreen trees or not, but that is not a reliable way to tell them apart. For one thing, many hardwood trees, such as balsa, some kinds of mahogany, stinkwood and the like are evergreen, and some conifers, such as the swamp cypress, are deciduous and lose their leaves annually.

If you think of a palm as a tree (not everyone does) then you can suit yourself about what you call its wood (if you call it wood; not everyone does). Generally wood from monocotyledons like palms are not regarded as "true hardwoods", but they certainly are not softwoods and some kinds have usefully woody stems; for example coconut palms make useful lumber that can be used where otherwise one would have used hardwoods.

Answer 4

Examples of softwoods are Pine, Fir, Spruce, Larch, Cedar and the Giant Redwood.

Pine, Balsam, Spruce, Fir, Tamarack, Cedar and Larch. I expect there are more but that is all that I found.
