Re: Which Wood Would You Use?
This thing is getting a little crazy! Use Hawaian Koa! Use Teak! Use Brazilian Ipe, how bout Jacaranda for a nice rosy blush? Teak is a PITA! No other way to describe it. It takes the edge off tools. What did Henry use? Probably maple, oak, locust (I Don't know if it grows in Michigan or not) walnut,The last of the great American Chestnuts, Whatever was at hand. Hand rubbing with Linseed oil and turps gives a great and easily repairable, highly water resistant finish, quite a bit of work though.
