10. Nooo... all my blood, sweat, and creative energies for naught!
It's a good poll. A detailed yet thorough poll that should entertain all of us for hours and hours and hours. Until we can't take it anymore! Please keep this poll going!

16. Cherry. Hard, yet works like butter.
Second choice: Maple, because it's so goddamned addictive.

20. Lignum vitae

Used to make bearings and nightsticks for bludgeoning Republicans.

40. Alive, sugar maple. Dead, cherry. Cherrywood works like butter.
I do enjoy working with maple as well, but you have to be careful because it's so brittle.

Oak, I detest. Tough and fibrous, and smells AWFUL when you cut it.
