Silvics of North America (1991),[2][3] a forest inventory compiled and published by the United States Forest Service, includes many hardwood trees.[a] It superseded Silvics of Forest Trees of the United States (1965), which was the first extensive American tree inventory.[6] A variety of statistics on all of these trees are maintained by the National Plant Data Team of the US Department of Agriculture.[5]
Hardwood from North American trees has a variety of commercial uses, including in furniture, carpentry, tools and musical instruments. Some timber is milled for plywood, wood veneer and construction framing, including structural support beams and studs. Logs can be fashioned into posts and poles. Less sturdy timber is often ground and processed into pulpwood, principally for papermaking. Resins from sap yield wood tar, turpentine or other terpenes. Some resins and other tree products contain dangerous toxins (not generally listed below). Much of the economic value of trees comes from orchards and ornamental uses.[7]
