CONT

For purposes of identification, the hardwoods may be divided into two general classes on the basis of pore arrangement. Hardwoods in the ring-porous class contain pores, that not only are very much larger in the earlywood than in the latewood but are arranged close together in a more or less continuous layer in the earlywood region of the annual ring. The diffuse-porous hardwoods contain pores of more nearly uniform size distributed fairly uniformly throughout the annual layers.
