  1. Gymnosperms are considered 'non-porous' because they lack vessel pores. Pines are typical examples of softwood. It is critical that conservators know the category of wood that they are treating; in many instances, it is equally important that a wooden object is identified to the species level in order to successfully conserve the waterlogged wood.
