I would use white oak, ( not red oak)...or ash. Also you should be aware that you can restore rotted wood, even missing wood by using a clear penetrating epoxy system that is sold in marine boat supply stores. It was invented to repair rotting boat keels. The materials are quite expensive though. This info may help you in the future. good luck,..Matt in Alameda
Matt,
Thanks for the additional info, especially concerning the epoxy system, I appreciate it. I'll check it out.
