I've voted Other because the vast majority of my compound scrolling has been with ash. However, I've also tickled some blocks of pine and oak, so I'm not averse to using other woods.

I use what ever is in the cut off bin that is the right size. I try to avoid the real hard woods as I have a problem with burning when using them for compounds.

One of the other reasons I like poplar is it is easy to come by. You can get square poplar dowels at HomeDepot, or even Canadian Tire (more than just tires)

Since all of the compound projects I have done so far are painted, I have used 3/4" MDF mostly and some poplar.
