White Oak

White Oak is one of the preeminent hardwoods of eastern and central North America. It is a long-lived oak, native to eastern and central North America and found from Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec, and southern Maine south as far as northern Florida and eastern Texas.

Red Oak

Red Oak is a native of North America, in the eastern and central United States and southeast and south-central Canada. It grows from the north end of the Great Lakes, east to Nova Scotia, south as far as Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana, and west to Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota

Hickory

Hickory is very hard, stiff, dense and shock resistant. There are woods that are stronger than hickory and woods that are harder, but the combination of strength, toughness, hardness, and stiffness found in hickory wood is not found in any other commercial wood.

Ash

Ash is a hard, dense, tough and very strong but elastic hardwood, extensively used for making bows, tool handles, baseball bats, hurleys, and other uses demanding high strength and resilience.

Cherry

Cherry is valuable; perhaps the premier cabinetry timber of the U.S., traded as “cherry”. High quality cherry timber is known for its strong orange hues and high price. Low-quality wood, as well as the sap wood, can be more tan.

Poplar

Poplar is a lighter, more porous material. Its flexibility and close grain make it suitable for a number of applications.

Hard Maple

Hard Maple is used for bowling alleys and bowling pins are both commonly manufactured from sugar maple. Trees with wavy woodgrain, which can occur in curly, quilted, and “birdseye maple” forms, are especially valued. Maple is also the wood used for basketball courts, including the floors used by the NBA, and it is a popular wood for baseball bats, along with white ash. It is also widely used in the manufacture of musical instruments, such as the members of the violin family (sides and back), guitars (neck), and drum shells. It is also often used in the manufacture of sporting goods.

Soft Maple

Soft Maple is used in furniture, cabinets, flooring, musical instruments, crates, and tool handles, because it is light and easily worked.

Walnut

Walnut attractive timber, which is hard, dense, tight-grained and polishes to a very smooth finish. The colour ranges from creamy white in the sapwood to a dark chocolate in the heartwood. When kiln-dried, walnut wood tends toward a dull brown colour, but when air-dried can become a rich purplish-brown. Because of its colour, hardness and grain, it is a prized furniture and carving wood.
