In today's video I put 8 popular common woods side by side to see how they stack up.

Red Oak - White Oak - Maple - Cherry - Walnut - Hickory - Alder - Pine

I talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each one and discuss how they compare. At the end, There's one final question....

If I could only have ONE wood to work with, which one would I choose? Leave a comment as to which one you would choose.

Thanks, Wes
