The distinction between softwood and hardwood is botanical, rather than referring to the strength or hardness of the wood. Just like hardwoods, softwoods are not necessarily soft or less dense, it is just more likely that they are softer than hardwoods. The visual differences in soft timbers compared with hard timbers include things such as usually being lighter in colour and usually softer.
