2. Problem As a cabinet maker, you are planning a kitchen project for a client. You and the client have decided the design for the project, which entails a lot of detailed craftsmanship and fine finishing including staining. The client has asked for samples and characteristics of lumber for the project. You must put together a list of possible LIGHT WOODS use Also include the one type that you recommend for the project.

3. Hardwoods and Softwoods Hardwood" is a term applied to trees that lose their leaves in winter. "Softwood" describes evergreens such as fir, pine and redwood. It does not have to do with the strength or hardness of the wood. The actual durability a wood is described in a range from very soft to very hard.

4. Solution To solve this problem, you must research the different types of wood that can be used. Create a professional-looking document with all the possible types of lumber that can be used. Since you will not be able to gather the samples in the amount of time needed, you should put together picture samples.

5. Guidelines Since there are so many different types of wood, your project will be quite extensive. You should get information to fill about 5 pages if you have everything needed. Pictures are helpful and necessary, but the pictures should not take up more than about 1” by 2” per picture. This 40 point assignment is due on Wednesday, Jan. 17. You will have today to work on it in class and possibly part of another day before that time.
