wood
I know this isn't wood from any particular kind of tree, but it doesn't seem to mean simply "fine" either.

It would seem that this would be appropriate, but let's see what others say.

hardwoods
No doubt about it! See this link:
Our quality Garden Furniture is made of solid, durable hardwoods such as Nyatoh, Bengkirai, and Teak. These hardwoods weather with age and become mature over time - giving your furniture a naturally beautiful look and feel..

Is it reasonable to expect tropical hardwoods (teak and mahogany) to maintain their high value price level twenty years from now?

noble wood
by analogy to the use of "noble metals" to categorize precious ores such as platinum, gold, silver, etc. I would not hesitate to characterize the finest hardwoods -- redwood, cherry, walnut, etc. -- in this manner. The Spanish use is itself a metaphor. Unless the context will not support it, my advice is to tranlate literally here.
