Hardwood The wood of any broadleaf tree species whose seeds have a cover, in the form of apples or nuts, for instance; most are deciduous, which means they loose their leaves in the winter (ie: not evergreens/conifers). The most commonly used hardwoods in picture framing include basswood and ramin.
Hardwoods are more difficult to scratch, and tend to have a clearer grain. They are considered more attractive, hence their use in picture frames.
The designation "hardwood" does not refer to the actual density of the wood. In fact, most woods used in picture framing are quite soft. |
