Folks,

I am pretty clueless in this area, and this is likely going to be an
easy question.....

I have a question regarding which wood to select. I have a bedframe
that broke. There is a peice of wood that needs replacing. Time to
get out the saw, drill, Gorilla glue and have some fun. The peice of
wood is only about 1" x 3" x 4" and is load bearing.

I tried hemlock (on that advice of a sales 'droid at home depot), but
it splits every time I sink a wood screw into it.

Did you drill a hole first? How big (diameter) was the screw? Were you
putting it close to the end?
________________

So can someone suggest a good solid peice of commercially availble
wood that can take a handful of wood screws through it, and is very
strong.

A handful of screws in a 3"x4" piece?? Why don't you describe what you
are trying to repair and how you are intending to do it...
