Grain is the cellular structure of hardwood. These grains determine the type of porus in hardwood. Oak beam, as an example, has open grain which results to a distinct figure. On the other hand, hardwoods that have close grain have less distinct figure. It all has something to do with the appearance of the hardwood.

It comes from deciduous trees and therefore loses its leaves in the winter and the trees are typically broadleafed. Hardwoods are typically denser and grow slower than softwoods, and usually have an open grain--like oak and ash, but can be closed grain-like maple and poplar. Hardwoods are typically not a knotty as softwoods, so have straighter, cleaner grain patterns. There are exceptions of course. Both balsa and English brown oak are considered hardwoods and both are soft enough to damage with bare hands.
