Oak is most definately a hardwood. Poplar is is somewhat hard, but is most reknown for its ability to to be finished to look like other woods.Any number of hardwoods have open pores. Oak, Rosewood, Teak to name a few. The closed pore hardwoods: cherry, walnut, maple, ash, etc. are just that closed pore hardwoods.
By contrast pine and fir ar closed pore woods but are considered to be softwoods. The pores have absolutely nothing to do with the hardness of the wood.
