Which Wood Should I Use? Quiz

Answer five questions about your project and see the wood species that fit best.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual materials, framing, access, local rules and conditions. Only a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Pick the project

    Furniture, cabinets, trim, deck or fence.

    Set your budget

    Economical to premium.

  4. 04

    The woods that fit best, with notes.

Tips

  • There is no single best wood. The best choice depends on use and taste.
  • Look at real samples in your own light.
  • Ask about stain and finish on the species you pick.
Questions

About this tool.

Is the quiz advice?

It is a simple guide to start the conversation. We recommend species after we see your project.

What if I like two woods?

Many projects combine species, such as a walnut top on an oak base.

Can I change my mind later?

Yes. Samples help, and we bring them to the design visit.
