Description
Hardwood lumber is produced from deciduous trees, those which drop their leaves each year in contrast to the coniferous or evergreen species from which our softwoods are produced. Because of the differing inherent qualities, growth characteristics and end uses of hardwoods as compared to softwoods, their grading methods are substantially different. In general, a softwood board is graded as a whole piece, whereas a hardwood board is graded on its usable content aside from any parts, which may be considered undesirable for its use such as knots, wane, splits, etc.

Hardwood Lumber Oak-Northern White
White Oak, like Red Oak, grows broadly across the eastern half of the United States. Although in smaller quantities than Red Oak, White Oak is a ring-porous species with a characteristic strong grain and rays that are longer and more pronounced than those in Red Oaks. The Heartwood is light to medium tan; the sapwood is slightly contrasting creamy-white. White Oak typically grows more slowly than Red Oak and produces lumber with a “softer” grain pattern. The pores in the Heartwood are impervious to liquid, making White Oak suitable for cooperage.

Hardwood Lumber Phil-Mahogany Meranti
Typically a dark reddish or purplish brown; commonly with white resin streaks present. Typically easy to work, though any interlocked grain can present problems during the planning, and Dark Red Meranti is reported to have very poor steam-bending properties. Some species may have a slight blunting effect on tools due to the small levels of silica present in the wood. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
Meranti is sometimes used as a look-a-like for Mahoganies when properly stained and finished. Can be used for some cabinet work and mouldings. Good for general construction uses and sometimes used in boatbuilding.
