Default ff's is soft or hard maple preferred.

Push sticks, feather boards, and outfeed tables or rollers to
keep the board from lifting off the table are also good ideas.

Speaking of push sticks, avoid making the Birdsmouth style. That's a notch
cut out of the end of a piece of wood. Sometimes plastic molded ones are
sold as "push sticks" or "getting started" tools, but those should be
avoided. They're dangerous. They put pressure on the very end of the
board, which encourages it to lift.

A "shoe" style or other form will be much better. They keep pressure along
the entire board so it's not likely to lift.
