If you are going to be working with exotic woods do yourself a favor and check out their toxicity and they are made the most dangerous. For instance, you may notice some lung or throat discomfort after sanding red cedar… well it’s toxicity level is in the range of throat discomfort. But some is much worse especially if you happen to be allergic to it.
Otherwise I would stay with maple, walnut and popular for stuff in the kitchen and cedar for outdoor stuff. Pine is cheap and I like to burn/ sand and stain it. I also like to artificially antique oak for rustic furniture.

I quit my job today. I didn’t even know I was going to do it. It just kinda happened because I guess I was at a breaking point and was feeing totally disrespected and taken advantage of. I gave them more notice than I usually do. Now I need to finally cut the chains from this career that I have given so much to and find another one that will suit me better. I am another one of soooo many persons leaving healthcare to find another career right now. I have been mistreated over and over and over by these organizations. I am done.
Damn Girl, I was hoping that you had found "the one" when you moved.
I wish you the best!

But I did ! I found the one to end the torture once and for all. The one that will make me never do this work again. The one to end my career with. I will never forget this one.

Good advice. A doug fir splinter will fester under your skin until you can no longer stand it..which usually isnt long. Imagine what too much could do to your lungs. It's part of the reason I went with a 22 amp 5hp cyclone dust collector that discharges outside. The six inch intakes will empty the shop air space in about three minutes.

My router is rated at 11 amps, not sure of the hp. It's a pretty small bit. I would bet even a small trim router wouldn't have much trouble running it.

Douglas fir has a real nice burn with those long ass splinters also. It was a really common material here back in the 80’s but we started seeing less and less of it in the 90’s and then it was gone. Only hemlock and spruce now. Of course yellow pine. I sure do miss the fir , it was a lot better for rafters.
