[edit] A List of Hardwoods

There is a list of hardwoods here as well afic names]]. Should these be merged, perhaps? Ehn 15:50, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Agreed; several of the descriptions here are inaccurate too. I'd be inclined to discard them, and keep to the list at List of woods - MPF 23:14, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Compare the deteriohahahahahha mawwah mwaah =]ration mechanisms which may affect hardwood and softwood ***

You'll get a much better response somewhere like http://groups.google.com/group/rec.woodworking/topics

(I've thumbnailed the image to reduce the impact on pageload time - is this the sort of thing that can be deleted completely?) FlagSteward 22:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

I am not following the first sentance in paragraph 4. Can someone clarify what is meant by not safe?

"Hardwoods are generally not safe but far more resistant to decay than softwoods when used for exterior work."

I've removed the 'hate' and 'love' to decay. 203.91.84.7 (talk) 05:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
