Ernst says "hardwood" but Pons says "deciduous trees". I think some deciduous trees aren't hardwood though (I forget which). Is there any standard term in the lumber industry?

Deciduous trees would be used before the wood is processed into lumber. When Germans use Laubholz they're normally referring to oak, beech, maple, cherry, etc. Poplar is a decidous tree and the wood is relatively soft, but it's still referred to as a hardwood.

broad-leaf timber products
alternatively you could say products from deciduous trees, but that sounds more clumsy to me.

Moshe Devere
: The usage is hardwood though technically it refers to deciduous leaved trees. Balso is such a wood but quite soft! One of the hardest wood is actually a pine which classed as a softwood.
