What is the best wood?

The best wood is whichever the better wood would be for any given situation which depends on what is being built. If you want outdoor deck furniture you might want to use Teakwood, for indoor Shelving units you may want to use Poplar or Oak, or Maple , to make Ax handles you may want to use Hickory wood. I will use what I believe to be the most feasable for any given situation.


What kind of wood are skateboards made of?

This is very good question. Usually the wooden decks are made out of maple, but story doesn't end there. The best wood material for decks is Canadian Rock Maple, but only few manufacturers make them. If the top layer of deck is stained in color you can be 90% sure sure, that it's regular maple, if maple at all, and the deck will wear out much faster then Canadian maple. I know that Element, Almost, Reinbe and Baker uses high quality Canadian maple, that will long last and provide much greater pop then usual maple or other wood.
