[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 313297, member: 6694"] Solid wood can certainly be used. Plywood is usually used because of its resistance to bending and its ready availability. Some follks use marine grade, but exterior grade will work well too, and is much cheaper (if not quite as nice of a grain on most pieces). If you choose to use solid wood, white oak is a good choice due to its strength and rot resistance. Maple or red oak would also work, as they are strong enough, but I don't know if they offer the same rot resistance. Some mahoganies are suitable, too. Be sure to seal the wood well, and you should be OK. The possible drawbacks with solid wood could include warping, twisting, and checking. Make sure the wood is well dried before you seal it up.
