Default Re: Which Wood Would You Use?

Or get very creative and use both White Oak and Red Oak. The bottom is made from Red Oak and the sides and rails are made of White Oak. All done with 3 coats of Spar Varnish. The lumber came from a local sawmill and the Red and White was what he had on hand. Boards came 1 inch thick and between 9 an 10 ft long. All was planned and cut to width by a friend and compadre Model A'er. The bed is made for the extedned cab I am building.
