Depends on the type of wood and if it is green or dry and aged. 100 year old Oak is hard to drive a nail into.
Normally soft wood would burn fastest. It actually depends on the density of the wood and the amount of pitch or sap still held by the wood. For instance, soft woods such as pin and cedar, when very dry, burn very fast. However, English brown oak, a hard wood will burn as fast or faster than pine. Balsa, also technically a hardwood, burns very fast. The denser the wood, the slower the burn.
Willow is classed as a hardwood.
The answer that shows above is right!!
Pines are soft wooded trees. Easily broken during heavy winds or ice storm.
oak? i don't understand your question sorry ;' (

Try the manufacturer's site at http://www.general.ca. They should be able to help.
Nail the axle and wheel into the side of the slots on the Pinewood Derby block. If you are allowed by your rules to use a difference wheel base, get yourself a #44 drill bit and drill holes using a Drill Press into the sides of the block. Tap the axle and wheel into the holes you drilled.
poplar has a good density and is a popular wood used for cabinet making and for shelving units.
poplar is not as hard as Oak, Maple, Mahogany, Walnut and other hardwoods.
Poplar is harder than pine wood and not as porous.
You can stain un-finished Bamboo like any other type of wood, (bamboo stains like hard maple, its difficult, but can be done) Bamboo will accepts normal stains, water based, oil based swedish stains, and even natural oil an waxes.
staining bamboo is not difficult as one can wipe on a stain ( I used water-based stain for easy cleanup), and wipe it off and it is done. very little effort for beautiful results. the next time I stain bamboo I am going to use one of the color/poly combinations and let you know how that works.
Painting wood as finishing would not be durable especially if the wood is used on floors.
Maple is often used in the manufafcture of musical instruments such as acoustic guitars.
Birch and Oak are the only two types of wood I've seen used for 12" rulers. I have seen Pine and Fir used for yardsticks or metersticks. Boxwood was a very popular wood for use in rulers due to its fine, straight grain.
To be honest, I'm not certain that Craftsman even makes an add-on table for portable skil saws anymore.

Assuming you are referring to a "rabbet" joint, the method is quite simple. Depending on your skill level and the application in which you are using this joint. A rabbet is a groove cut into the edge of a board to accept 1) another board (such as a drawer, small box, etc) or 2) a piece of glass, backboard or other material (such as the back of a bookshelf, a picture frame, etc) The rabbet can be cut using a rabbet bit on your router or can be cut using a stacked-dado blade on your table saw. The easiest method would be the router. Insert your rabbeting bit into the router. Be sure to have a bit with an attached guide bearing. If you do not have a router table you can clamp your piece to a work bench and clamp a scrap piece of wood to the top of your finish piece. (Measure the distance from the edge of the base plate to the center of your router. Then add 1/2 of the thickness of your bit) This measurement is where to set your scrap block to act as a "fence" for your router. After clamping your wood piece to your work bench, set the depth on your router to 1/3 or 1/2 of the thickness of the board. 1/2 is the Maximum. Keep the base of the router firm against the fence as well as flat against the piece being cut. Move router steadily across the edge of wood. If cutting a rabbet to fit into a dado, the same process can be used, except the material cut away should only be 1/4 the thickness of material, and should be cut on both sides of the piece, as well as both ends.

Regular or average Mahogany vs. select has several things to consider, grain (stright or random), soundness of the wood, tone of the wood, you also must consider the purpose its intended for when seeking select wood, for Guitars you might want book matched, crotch, curly, flame, quilted etc., but select is usually sound stright grained wood without knots or wavy grain.
