Well.... you have to learn on something. Better to practice on a
renewable relatively inexpensive wood than something like cherry or
walnut.


Plus, there's nothing that says you can't use the learning piece for
something different later on. I'm good at reusing old pieces and looking
through material for the piece with the least waste.
