My second, but hopefully not last, wooden toys for children was a hobby horse. I used a template to cut the head. The wood was about 1 1/2" thick. To finish the profile, I simply had to sand it.
Wood floor insulation can even be installed in structures. The most commonly used diy wood projects material is the plywood because it is cheaper than other types of wood.
You can experience a wide range of wood types by trying your hand. This will allow you to feel how it will feel to work with each type. Pinewood is generally more straightforward and easier to work with. Coco lumber is also great for beginners.
