Most beginning woodworkers start with pine. Pine is economical compared to oak or walnut and if your project doesn’t go as planned (you REALLY screw it up) then it hasn’t cost you that much. The other advantage to pine is it is easy to work. This means it is easier on your tools and you because of its tendency to be soft. Pine is prone to pitch pockets and loose knots and doesn’t always stain well but it IS a good place to start with your first projects. Working with pine you can learn all of the basics and when you move on to higher quality woods your ability will appear to have jumped considerable. Pine is prone to fuzzy edges and cuts. Hardwoods tend to cut cleaner and crisper. PROVIDED you have learned your BASICS in pine, your higher grade wood will convert your work into higher grade work.
