If you’re not sure what kind of wood to grab for your next DIY build? Here’s a quick breakdown:
𝒫𝒾𝓃𝑒 — Cheap, easy to work with, and perfect for most indoor projects. You can stain it to look like walnut, cherry, or even espresso.
𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙 — Has a green tint and is made for outdoor use. Just remember, scraps go in the trash, not the burn pile.
𝙶𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍 — Designed for pieces that sit directly on the ground.
𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 & 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 — Great for fancy projects like frames or furniture.
𝑀𝒶𝓅𝓁𝑒 (food safe) — Perfect for cutting boards or charcuterie trays. Use a food-safe finish like cutting board oil or tung oil.
ℙ𝕣𝕠 𝕥𝕚𝕡: If it’s touching food, skip the pine, it’s too porous!
