Generally pine is the cheapest wood because it is a soft wood and is, therefore, easier to cut. It also grows extremely fast for a tree. It's becoming more and more popular, though, whenever a manufacturer cuts wood, they take the extra scraps and they shred them. Then the glue all of the shreds together and compress them into plywood. It is a cheap and easy way to squeeze every last penny out of the wood they buy. If they want to, the will even put a vinyl cover over the plywood. The cover will look like real wood, but is actually hiding the plywood. It is still cheaper and also lighter, but does not have the same exact look and shine as real wood.

∙ 11y agotry your local Craigslist. If you want small wood to carve, there's lots of people giving free fire wood, as well as old cupboards and stuff left over from moving sales. If you want sculpting wood, check your local Walmart for pallets. feed stores will generally give you free pallets. You could also try lumber yards. they produce scrap, and they will give you the scrap you want for a very cheap price. Also, check out the curb alerts. Lots of people are giving away desks and other wooded items, and you can ct them yourself, craft them and revamp, and sell! you might even make a profit!
Hope this helps. Happy wood hunting!
