Lets watch a short video
about the differences of
hardwood & softwood.

TIMBERS – WHAT ARE THEY?
Wood comes from trees and is
one of our oldest natural
resources. It has many useful
properties and many uses. The
wood we use comes from
many different types of trees
and each one is different, both
in colour and pattern (grain).
Wood can be found all over
the world with different species
found in different areas.
Cellulose
fibres
Lignin resin
Approximately 80% of
the UK wood needs
are supplied by other
countries.
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of
the properties of hardwood and
softwood timbers
TIMBER LOCATION MAP
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of

TIMBER PREPERATION
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of
the properties of hardwood and
softwood timbers
Hardwoods
Hardwood trees are usually deciduous with broad leaves.
They grow best in warm, wet (tropical)areas.
They include the densest, strongest and most durable
timbers.
But
NOT
all hardwoods are hard, e.g. balsa wood.
The cheaper hardwoods are approximately equal in cost
to expensive softwoods.
HARDWOODS
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of
the properties of hardwood and
softwood timbers
Hardwood List:
Ash, Beech, Elm, Mahogany,
Chestnut, Maple, Teak, Walnut & Oak.
To name but a few
HARDWOODS
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of
the properties of hardwood and
softwood timbers
Softwoods
Softwood trees are evergreen with pine needles and
cones.
They grow best in cold, dry climates.
They are NOT all soft, e.g. yew.
Softwoods comprise about 75% of timber used in the UK.
SOFTWOODS
Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and
understanding of
the properties of hardwood and
softwood timbers
Softwood List:
Cedar, Douglas Fir, Larch, Pine,
Yew & European Redwood
Remember there are LESS softwoods than
hardwoods.

On the worksheet
provided write which
wood is suitable for
each product & the
important properties
to consider.
Properties:
Hardness,
Strength etc.
Gain knowledge about the properties of hardwood and softwood timbers, including different types, uses, and sustainable practices. Explore the lifecycle of timber, timber production, types of timber, and their preparation. Learn the distinctions between hardwoods and softwoods, their characteristics, and environmental impact. Dive into the world of natural and manufactured boards, and how they are sourced and utilized globally.
