There are two types of wood mainly used in the creation of woodcrafts. These are domestic woods and exotic woods. Domestic woods are common because they can be found in every wood supplier and lumbermill in the country at an affordable price.

Domestic woods are often easy to work with, while the exotic woods require extra care when working with them.
