The picture shows a photo of a common type of suburban house in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The framework of the house is made from softwood. Some softwood is manufactured in the United States. However, most softwood is imported from Canada. The sheathing of the house is either made from plywood or OSB, which are made from either hard or soft wood depending on the manufacturer. The US imports much of its OSB from Canada, Ireland, or Germany.
