Hardwoods are deciduous trees that have broad leaves, produce a fruit or nut and generally go dormant in the winter. America’s forests grow hundreds of varieties of hardwood trees that thrive in this country’s temperate climates.

Today the USA is the largest sawn hardwood producers in the world. Sawn lumber is the primary product of the American hardwood industry, which is fragmented and comprises many thousands of sawmills spread throughout the eastern USA.

All the commercially available U.S. hardwoods are crafted into furniture, cabinetry, woodwork and built-ins. It’s simply a matter of taste, preference and availability.
