The domestic woods around here are pine, ash, red
oak, black oak, white oak, walnut, hickory, elm and
locust. I can have any of these timbers sawn at area
sawmills and stack them for seasoning.

What are the most resistant woods to sea critters?
barnacles, worms and so forth.

I know that cherry and maple rot about as bad as pine,
but I don't know which kind of oak is best.

Can anyone tell me or point me to a site that rates
woods for salt water vessels?
