Ever try to put a screw in hardwood only to tear up the screw head with your screw driver or drill/driver. Try lubricating your wood screws with a little Gulf(paraffin) wax or beeswax before you put them in the wood. Of course this should be used in conjunction with pre-drilling. Just take the screw and rub it on the wax until there is a little wax between the threads. Use the wax with moderation, too much will end up staining the wood around the screw.
