Hardwood is a type of wood that comes from deciduous trees, which lose their leaves annually. Known for its density and durability, hardwood is typically used in applications that require strength and longevity. Common hardwood species include oak, maple, cherry, and walnut, each offering unique characteristics in terms of grain, color, and hardness.
| Density | 600 to 900 kg/m³ |
| Moisture content | 6% to 12% |
| Grain patterns | Straight, wavy, or interlocked |
| Common finishes | Natural, stained, or varnished |
| Standard sizes | Lumber dimensions typically range from 1x2 to 2x12 inches |
When selecting hardwood, buyers should consider the specific species based on desired properties such as color, grain, and hardness. It's important to specify the moisture content to ensure suitability for the intended application. Additionally, buyers should inquire about certifications like FSC or PEFC for sustainable sourcing, and provide quantities needed for accurate pricing.
