Softwood

In Plain English

Lumber from coniferous trees like pine and fir, used for framing and structural applications.

Definition

Softwood is lumber derived from coniferous (cone-bearing) trees such as pine, fir, spruce, and cedar. It is the primary material used for structural framing, sheathing, and rough carpentry in North American construction. Despite the name, some softwoods are harder than some hardwoods; the classification refers to tree type rather than actual hardness.
