Hardwoods and Softwoods
Trees are divided into two classes: hardwoods and softwoods. The hardwoods
such as Teak, birch, maple have broad leaves. The terms "hardwoods" and
"softwoods" are not directly associated with the hardness or softness of the
wood although in most cases hardwoods are actually harder and tougher than
softwoods.
In general softwoods originate from cone-bearing trees and
hardwoods from trees that have their seeds contained in a seed-case.
