Historically, woodworkers relied upon the woods native to their region,
until transportation and trade innovations made more exotic woods
available to the craftsman. Woods can be sorted into three basic types:
hardwoods typified by tight grain and derived from broadleaf trees, softwoods from coniferous trees, and man-made materials such as plywood and MDF.
