Is a hardwood really “harder” than a softwood? What does it mean for a hardwood to be diffuse porous, ring porous, or semi-ring porous? Thinking about remodeling and deciding between several woods? This class will help you answer those questions and learn the basics of wood identification.
We will explore the skills you need to identify various wood structural characteristics, including rays, tyloses, resin canals, and more. The historical benefits of these woods as well as their current uses will be discussed.
