SNIP

other wood options include:
alder, ash, basswood, birch (yellow or red), butternut, hickory, mahogany, hard
or soft maple, white or red oak, poplar, or eastern white pine.

what would you choose, and why.

END SNIP

Basswood is very weak and soft -- would break easily and dents with a tough.
Also rots very quickly.
