Default Re: Which Wood Would You Use?

If you want a hard wood, that will withstand the weather use teak, or ipe. Neither need, or will accept, very well any top dressing. Teak should be oiled about once a year. Another hard wood is locust. Never use spar varnish. It will crack. Speaking from years of boating experience, use
Sikkens by Cetol. Look for the marine grade. Nothing is better for exposure to the weather.
