Hi Stu
Whilst Erik suggested the use of oak I would say that oak has a tendency to
splintering. You might consider the use of Keruing [Dipterocarpus
costulatus, Dipterocarpus sublamellatus, Dipterocarpus cornutus,
Dipterocarpus warburgii, Dipterocarpus spp, Dipterocarpus crinitus,
Dipterocarpus apterus, Dipterocarpus lowii, Dipterocarpus verrucosus,
Dipterocarpus gracilis, Dipterocarpus acutangulus, Dipterocarpus
grandiflorus AKA: yang, Malaysian keruing, Indonesian keruing, Sarawak
keruing, kruen, apitong, Sabah gurjun] But for environmental reasons please
try and find some used timber as it is an endagered species.
Wenge (Millettia laurentii, Millettia stuhlmannii [AKA: panga panga,
palissandre du Congo, dikela (Zaire)] would be a good choice and more
readily available.
Best regards from David Gudmunsen
Contact me off list and I can tell you for ever about timbers.
