Hello,
I am getting ready to build a moxon vise and I stopped by the lumber yard this weekend to buy some 8/4 soft maple for the jaws but they didn't have any decent boards. So rather than waiting for them to get in more stock, I was considering just using some leftover 8/4 Poplar that I have on hand but wanted to ask what the downsides would be of using this softer wood.
Thanks!
