Favorite Wood


Recommended Posts

 I prefer the hardwoods to the soft woods, although I do use cedar a lot, but because I get it free. I also use a lot BB ply do to the size and cost and availability. but anything in the hard woods is best to cut for me because the cut with a better finish inside the cuts and they don't create so many fuzzies, ( that I do not enjoy trying to remove ). My preference has to be Alder because I have a wonderful free availability to.

I really like oak and walnut. I've used maple, cherry ash Pine hickory and poplar. I have never used cedar but need I need to try it.

I havre done cedar and love the way it cuts. But I don't get a lot of it for scrolling. It's easy to work and left unfinished has a great effect for hope chests, Takes a finish well for scrolling but doesn't hold it's luster in the sun. Maybe I am doing something wrong?
