Woodworking can be, as we have said, a pleasant and enjoyable which, however, requires at least a modest knowledge of this material, not to make mistakes when you decide to buy a certain amount to build something . The best starting point, with regard to the purchase, is to rely on one of the many stores and supermarkets in the wood where there is a wide choice of both the raw timber and semi-finished wood. Faced, however, with a vast assortment you can become disoriented if you do not already have enough ideas precise on what to buy.
varieties of wood are many, from the most to keep (such as balsa wood, thanks to its lightweight is particularly suitable for modeling because any blade, even the most subtle manages to cut it) to the iron-wood from South America, as well as to compete with hard metals. But between the first and the second there is a whole range wide that only an expert is able to recognize by certain characteristics such as texture, the texture, the grain, the weight, and so on. Here we do not want to make a treaty on the wood, but simply suggest the passionate DIY which type to use depending on what you want to build a shelf, a fence, a piece of furniture and other things like that. And of course help him recognize the wood according to its characteristics and its exterior appearance. Here are the most used ones for some carpentry work.
Spruce. There are several varieties: white (with reddish veins) very soft and flexible, with several knots. Is generally used for framing. The fir red , light yellow in color and straight grain: it is suitable for the construction of rustic furniture and lends itself well to be polished. It also has a special feature: a particular resonance that makes it the most suitable wood for musical instruments. The fir Douglas , reddish in color, with compact grain and no knots, it is very durable and long lasting, and for this reason it is widely used in building construction, especially for windows and exterior finishes (is ideal, for example, to cover part of the facade of the mountain chalet). It is, however, also suitable for home decor accessories.
Maple. 's a pretty hard wood whose color varies from white to pink to reddish-white-yellow. You can easily work with all tools (even those with a modest equipment of DIY). It can be sanded and polished, taking a beautiful silky appearance. It keeps well in a dry, while the moisture will ruin it. Suitable for furniture and veneers.
