Timber from a softwood tree is obtained from its trunk or stem, specifically from the wood layers between the bark and the heartwood. The outer layer, known as the cambium, produces new growth, while the inner layers consist of sapwood, which is lighter and more flexible, and heartwood, which is denser and typically used for construction and woodworking. The timber is harvested by felling the tree and then processing the trunk into usable lumber. Common softwood species include pine, spruce, and fir.
