Oak
Oak is one of the most popular choices for woodworking due to its strength, hardness, and durability. There are over 600 species of oak, but the most common ones utilized in woodworking are red oak and white oak. Due to its resistance to wear and damage, oak is often used for high-demand applications such as furniture and flooring. Its open grain pattern retains more stain than other wood types, which makes it ideal for darker finishes. However, this characteristic also necessitates careful preparation before staining to avoid an uneven finish.
Pine
Pine is a highly versatile softwood that’s commonly used in a variety of woodworking projects. Known for its lightweight nature and ease of workability, pine is a favorite among woodworkers, whether they are professionals or hobbyists. There are numerous species of pine, but they all share a fast growth rate, making pine a sustainable choice for wood production. This rapid growth, along with the wood’s relatively low cost, make pine one of the most commercially important tree species.
Maple
Maple is a dense hardwood revered for its strength and resistance to shock, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Its smooth, light color and generally straight grain make it a desirable wood for furniture, flooring, and cabinetry. In addition, there are several species of maple, with Sugar Maple and Hard Maple being among the most commonly used for woodworking.
One of the most striking aspects of maple is its potential for unique patterns. Certain growth conditions can lead to highly sought-after ‘birdseye’ or ‘flame’ patterns, which are highly prized in furniture and veneer applications. These unique patterns, combined with maple’s inherent durability, contribute to its popularity in the woodworking world.
Cherry
Cherry wood is often used for high-quality furniture, cabinetry, and flooring. Its smooth grain makes it easy to work with, and its strength and moderate hardness make it durable for both structural and decorative pieces. Despite this hardness, it machines, sands, and finishes well, making it a favorite among woodworkers.
When it comes to refinishing, one must consider cherry wood’s tendency to darken over time. A piece that starts with a light finish might become significantly darker as it ages. This natural darkening process can enhance the beauty of the wood but needs to be taken into account when choosing a finish.
