| Out of these three, which is the best? Oak, birch, or pine? Oak kinda has a nice look to it, but idk. |

| Birch is good but pine is little more stiff and a little more dense for a really solid feel. i found that decks perform really well on it. |

| So Pine is better? It's only costs a little bit more than birch, so whatever's best is what I'll get. |

| is birch also good for making things like quarter pipes and half pipes cause i have some random veneer thats pretty thick and that is even harder to bend so would i just put a whole bunch of layers of thinner veneer or one or two of thick? |

| I'm most likely not gonna be making vert stuff, because it's too hard right now and I don't have veneer, and etc. I accidently bought some maple wood a long time ago, but it wasn't plywood, and whenever you cut it, the pieces bend. Oak is out of the list on a side note. Blosom, how do you put the top piece on for the halfpipe? Did you nail it in? |
