woods

We tend to use woods more from North and South America and Canada, but where else do woods come from? I know a large amount come from Europe, but what woods exactly come from Europe and what are they used for?
Why don’t we start with the hardwoods of Europe, we have (European) Ash, (European) Walnut, (European Sycamore) Maple, English Brown Oak, (European) Beech, (European) Cherry, (European) Plane, (European) Boxwood, (European) Poplar, (European) Horse Chestnut, (European) Sweet Chestnut, (European) Pear, (European) Holly, (European) Hornbeam, (European) Lime, and (European) Willow. Wow that was a mouth load!! These are all European hardwoods …
