What are hardwoods and softwoods?
Hardwoods usually came from angiosperm tress while softwoods came from gymnosperm tress. Both of these woods are very useful and have their own unique characteristics. Most timber came from softwoods as it is cheaper than hardwoods. However, if you're looking for quality and long lasting material, hardwood is the perfect choice. It is also easier to produce softwoods than hardwoods since it grows faster than the other. Common and useful examples of softwoods are cedar and pine while hardwoods are oak beam and mahogany.

What are the properties of fir wood?
It comes from deciduous trees and therefore loses its leaves in the winter and the trees are typically broadleafed. Hardwoods are typically denser and grow slower than softwoods, and usually have an open grain--like oak and ash, but can be closed grain-like maple and poplar. Hardwoods are typically not a knotty as softwoods, so have straighter, cleaner grain patterns. There are exceptions of course. Both balsa and English brown oak are considered hardwoods and both are soft enough to damage with bare hands.

What are the properties of soft woods?
Softwoods come from coniferous (cone-bearing) trees. So Balsa wood, the least dense of woods, which is a deciduous tree, (it DECIDES to drop leaves each winter) is technically a hardwood. Softwoods are generally very porous, and sand, or finish, easily. Sometimes TOO easily. They also soak up stain or paint quickly. GENERALLY speaking, they are lighter than hardwoods.
