There are many species of wood used for this purpose. The beginners are usually not aware of the number of wood species they can work on and the pros and cons of each one.

Therefore, you have to search and understand all the wood species quite well. If you cannot afford to spend so much time searching and understanding the wood species, try learning about lumber.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced woodworker, you would always have to sand the wood. It is something that you have to do perfectly, under or over-sanding would not be ideal situations.

A lot of people do not understand how much to sand the wood. Therefore, you have to perfect the art of sanding the wood. It would not just make the surface smooth but help in staining and finishing the wood to perfection as well.
