So, according to the old from N.B. Canada... The spruce species is what the majority of our lumber is made from, fir would be used also but little compared to spruce. Poplar I've heard is the only softwood with leaves. but I've also heard others say its the softest hardwood there is. I have always thought it was soft, nice to have finally figured it out, thanks! As far as pine being inexpensive, I would have to disagree. As it is used for furniture and finishing work, average 1$ for 12" width, 1" thick. as far as marketability, spruce has many different uses, as where pine is used primarily for finished lumber. And as far as what would be considered more valuable, pine would take the win, as they grow strait, few branches and good for lumber. Im sure everywhere is different, and I would be interested in knowing where you are from, as the wood market and species may hold different pros and cons. Good Work!
Hello, this help out more from my previous watched video. I recently bought my first furniture out of my own pocket and I was worried about the type of maple I believe, it is. It does has a bamboo looking alike lines. I did analyze it and I'm pretty sure is Maple wood now, because I have done a bamboo project in the past in person and I compared it so right now I feel happy towards the truth. Thank you!
Hi there, Could you please tell me which of the hardwoods you showed has the most open grain? I'm told that the best ironing Clappers are made from hardwood because they will absorb the steam left in the fabric to make a sharp crease. The statement seems like a contradiction to me. Hardwood is more dense so how can it absorb steam? I've been watching to buy a Clapper on Ebay and Kijiji for a few month but the cost of Shipping them from the USA doubles the cost of these items. Canada is rich in wood, and I figure that it would be much better to pick up an off-cut and do the sanding myself. Could you make a suggestion for my little project? Thanks so much!
Is Douglas fir more closely related to the European pine than to spruce? I thought fir is more like spruce, but with European spruce the heart of the wood material doesn't differ in colour from the sapwood. In our pine though, it's clearly darker and more dense.
Good informative video. Thankyou. this might be a silly question but What if I'm not sure if my table is solid cherry wood or stained a cherry wood finish? Do you have any websites or resources for that? Thankyou.
Cypress is a softwood, pretty durable. Sinker logs are ones that have sunk in a river long time ago, they pick up all the minerals from the water and are well preserved so have beautiful grain and color.
No wood is water proof, whatever you use should be covered. If not then we'll sealed. If not that then pressure treated and finally if your out west redwood that has been sealed.
A much better way to put woods into groups us Angiosperm vs Gymnosperm. Also what cedar was that? There is not a wood you put out there that I would use outside except the pine, and then, only pressure treated
Technically the terms 'hard' or 'soft' wood have nothing to do with the wood's actual hardness or toughness, but rather what kind of seeds the tree produces. Balsa, 100 lbf, while rather soft wood is technically classified as a hardwood because of how it produces it's seeds. On the other hand Yew is technically classified as a softwood but is actually stronger and tougher than some oaks. The softest wood is the Quepo tree with a Janka rating of 22 lbf but is actually classified as a hardwood because of the way it produces it's seeds. As a contrast, the Australian Buloke tree has an lbf of 5060 with common Hickory only hitting 1820 lbf. Cutting a piece of Buloke is said to be like trying to cut a rock.
That reminds me of how the term "songbirds" doesn't refer to birds that sing, necessarily, because some songbirds (like crows) don't sing, and some non-songbirds (like Anna's hummingbirds) do; it is just a classification, like "hardwood" vs "softwood."
Least expensive softwood is pine, but has knots and pitch but paints ok. Good inexpensive hardwood would be oak. Poplar is also a good choice but is usually painted.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just got into woodworking from the sheet metal trade so this is really great. Your handwriting is amazing also
Thank you
Yep, it's wood.

Thank you, Northern California
Great video, very informative, pleasant voice. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the kind words
In which category will
1. Teakwood
2. Rosewood
Fall ?
Which wood would you suggest for Study Table, which should long for atleast 50 years ?
In the US those are both considered exotic hardwoods. Very beautiful woods, expensive , and relatively hard to machine.
best video i've come across explaining species
Excellent video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you

Thank you
Great video. Lots of interesting and useful facts, with a simplified breakdown. Thank you for sharing x
Thanks very much
Thank you
No trees were harmed in the making of this video.
i wish you mentioned bamboo as exotic wood like moso and guadua bamboo lol still great vid
Who else is watching this for a school assignment
Thank you this was very helpful
Glad to hear it
In the south, southern yellow pine is a good choice if you need structural strength; it is much denser than fir.
My favorite part was when he talked about wood.
Thx for this, you literally done my homework 😂😂👊
Thanks so much! Very helpful ! I learned a lot

I'm not sure, but Poplar is a hardwood and one of the best to bend with steam because it absorbs so much of the steam

And whiti oak solid
Yes, love working with white oak
Thank you really helpful
Thank you
This is not about wood identification. This is about different wood types.
Ok
Good informative video. Thankyou. this might be a silly question but What if I'm not sure if my table is solid cherry wood or stained a cherry wood finish? Do you have any websites or resources for that? Thankyou.
Wood database is a good resource
@@ColfaxMath awesome thankyou!
Thanks Steve-o
Thank you
Dear sir,
I got some free lumbers have stamps ( S-P-F ) .
I intend to make a raised bed. My question is how do we know the wood was treated or not?
SPF stands for the species of wood. Spruce Pine For, so it is a structurally strong wood. If it was treated it would say so.
Nice wood.
What about cypress? And what the heck is 'sinker cypress' anyway?
Cypress is a softwood, pretty durable. Sinker logs are ones that have sunk in a river long time ago, they pick up all the minerals from the water and are well preserved so have beautiful grain and color.
Can you tell me what type of wood I’ve got and to see if they are worth anything as I’m puzzled as I’m just learning how to turn
Hard to do online, take it to your local hardwood store
Which wood do you recommend for a patio roof?
I need long lasting and not expensive.
Thanks
No wood is water proof, whatever you use should be covered. If not then we'll sealed. If not that then pressure treated and finally if your out west redwood that has been sealed.
Helpful!!!
Glad to hear it
What about black oak
Hard to differentiate all the different oaks
A much better way to put woods into groups us Angiosperm vs Gymnosperm.
Also what cedar was that? There is not a wood you put out there that I would use outside except the pine, and then, only pressure treated
Sir I think softwood's named as conifer
Yes, alot of people define softwoods as conifer, only trees that have cones, but others define it as evergreens.

*quipo wood
For kitchen shelf what wood should I choose??
Least expensive softwood is pine, but has knots and pitch but paints ok. Good inexpensive hardwood would be oak. Poplar is also a good choice but is usually painted.
