I had to remake all the bows (top bows and side pieces) for my 715 as they
had rotted away. I used oak, not sure if it was white or red, but it is
holding up well. I found a cabinet maker shop that had some. He cut it to
width and height for me and even did the nice corner rounding. Another
option is to find a deck company. Many of them use exotic hardwoods that
weather better than any domestic wood. Ipe is a good one also tatajuba,
purple heart, jara, kari, kwela (don't quote my spelling) are but a few
that a buddy of mine deals with (didn't know him when I did my top bows)
good luck,
