Re: Which Wood Would You Use?
Yes, Teak; used on ship decks, commercial cargo trailers, and other applications exposed to rough treatment. Very very heavy; hard tight dense grain-will strike sparks from saw blades; tools need to be very sharp and dull quickly. handles moisture well and is available. There is an outlet in Bandon, Oregon. I am sure it is spendy though. I used red oak on mine with 50/50 linseed oil and kerosene/mineral spirits. I has been in the rain and has held up well for three years.
