[Shop-talk] Choosing a wood

[Robert Nogueirao via Shop-talk <shop-talk@autox.team.net>]

Iâ??m looking for suggestions as to what type of wood to use for a project.
Iâ??m making some small wood models.  Iâ??ve tried Bass wood, my wife uses it 
for her carving, but it is too soft and does not hold edge detail well. White 
pine is working but the soft wood in the grain seems to create the same problem 
as bass wood. 
The pieces Iâ??m making are only 1/8 inch thick an 3/8 wide so cutting is not a 
problem.
Any suggestions as to a tight grain wood which is hard enough to hold a edge?
