kywoodmaster Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) I know this question has been ask before but I haven't seen it. What is everyone's favorite wood to scroll in? I guess I would have to say mine would be aromatic eastern red cedar.

Scrolling Steve Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Most of my projects are cut from Baltic Birch, Poplar and pine......I really need to branch out and try some different woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 99% of my projects are soft maple or basswood inlaid into eastern red cedar. Buyers love the smell of the unfinished cedar on the inside of the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I enjoy cutting cedar as well but also like red oak and cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleJScroller Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well I don't have a lot of experiance with different types of woods, one of these day's I'm going to get around to trying out some of the more interesting woods. For now I cut a lot of Red Oak and of course Baltic Birch ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Excluding BB, I would say Cherry and Maple, because that is what I have the most experience with. Popular is not bad, but a little soft. WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 My favorite wood is Mahogany. It cuts so nice, smells good when scrolling and finishes so beautifully . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Aside from BB ply. I use a lot of red oak, pine, cherry and Maple. Of those I would say it would be a toss up between cherry and red oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 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. WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrampaJim Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Oak is what I use the most. Walnut and Cherry sometimes. I like Oak ply for the way it finishes more tha Baltic Birch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATRK Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I really like the way cherry cuts, and i love cutting butternut as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 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. Dick heppnerguy Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclistjim Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 It would seem currently I have been using pine and poplar. Easy to get for me in the sizes I need. I will be getting a planner soon so I will have more choices since thickness will not matter. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 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?
