fine wood (w/o final "s")
Even though the phrase is plural in Sp., it should be singular in Eng., since "wood" in this sense is a mass noun, not a count noun. I.e., there is no plural. If you say "woods", you mean a forest (bosque).
"Fine" certainly is the proper rendering of "nobles" in this context.

really, this is hardwood.
However, "fine" is a good substitute, since it refers to the finer grain (dense woods) of these materials.
