Said I needed "hardwood, he thought" It was a new question
for him.

I'm not at all sure. I want to cut some door and shelf
handles. This is not artistic carving. Think blocks,
rectangular. Have no idea why the wood would make any
difference (not balsa of course, but that's technically
"hard" isn't it?) Color not really important either.




No - balsa is not "technically "hard"". It is a hardwood, but it is
"technically" very soft. Beyond that - what is it you are trying to say?
