What are your local woods?

[Dan]

I was looking over my stock of hardwoods and got to thinking...in Kentucky some of our local hardwoods that I use are walnut, maple, black cherry, osage orange, locust and oak. Just curious what other locations call local hardwoods.

 

I'm interested in hearing from folks all over the world.

 

Thanks.

I would say everything you named plus- elm, hickory, and ash.

Here in Western PA, we are blessed with an abundance of hardwood forests and there are small, local sawmills all over the place. Wild cherry is one of the most commonly found hardwoods and is prized by woodworkers around the country. Stuff grows like a weed around here. Also we have red & white oak, maple, ash, black locust, walnut, hickory, poplar and others. We even some sassafras (which is a real treat to work with).
