Have any of you Kreg woodworkers ever used Aspen?
I noticed that they now carry it at my local big box store.
I did a little reading on it and it sounds like what I am
looking for to make some cabinet faces.
Straight, reasonable priced, paintable, not many knots or defects.
Anyone have any suggestions on using it?
Is it considered a hard or soft wood when it comes to Kreg screws?
I made the title generic in case others wanted to post comments on other types of wood as well.

Ive used Aspen a few times,it would be considered more a soft wood in my book...very nice grain,but one Issue I have with it is it has a tendency to "chatter" and tear when routed,it also has a very fuzzy-like grain when sanding...but all in all I do like the wood for its features and cheaper costs.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
