The term ‘Softwood’ refers to the species of trees from which the wood can be reaped. Softwood lumber is usually a timber obtained from trees such as pine, cedar or spruce. The softwood timber is processed and the properties of the wood are optimized to be utilized in various applications. Moreover, the softwood obtained from various trees differ in their properties.
Softwood lumber obtained from Cedar tree is one of the most durable owing to its unique cell structure and high resistance to water. Moreover, the softwood lumber obtained from fir tree is relatively weaker and is not considered suitable for utilization in general woodworking processes.
Softwood lumber obtained from Pine tree is one of the most utilized softwood lumber famous for its applications in indoor applications because of its property of being non-resistant to insects. The other two commonly used Softwood lumber are Redwood and Treated lumber. Treated Softwood lumber is obtained when wood is made to undergo an intensive chemical treatment to prevent chemical decay.
The lumber utilized for this purpose may originate from any of the softwoods. Furthermore, softwood lumber is utilized for various purposes including building construction, wood working, furniture making and fiber boards.
