Hi frankorona, I'm not sure what species of wood you have available where you are. Pine is a good choice for some projects. I don't generally like to use MDF because the dust is full of chemicals that are not good to breath. Tell us what type of projects you are having problems with.

Hi, i am also a newbie, and would really like to know what type of wood you use, i am based in the UK.  Two projects that spring to mind are the candle cup and the kokopellibox.  They show use of difference varities of wood and it makes the the finished item look spectacular.
