There are three types of wood and today I’ll be talking about which woods are used for what. Now the three types of wood is softwood, hardwood, and engineered wood. Some types of softwoods are cedar, pine, and fir. Softwood is flexible, lighter in weight and less dense. It is frequently used for interior mouldings, the manufacturing of windows, construction framing and generating sheet goods such as plywood and fiberboard. Some types of hardwoods are oak, ash, and maple. Hardwoods are employed in a large range of applications, including fuel, tools, construction, boat building, furniture making, musical instruments, flooring, cooking, barrels, and manufacture of charcoal. Some types of engineered wood is Laminated Veneer Lumber, Oriented strand board, and plywood. Engineered wood products are used for home construction, commercial buildings, and industrial products. The products can be used for joists and beams that replace steel in many building projects.
