Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #155
Question
True or False: Southern yellow pine is a very hard softwood.
Answer
True. The term "softwood" refers to needled trees that stay green all year and not to the density of the wood. Southern yellow pine is a hard “softwood” often used for flooring and stair treads.
