Sounds like the best choice would be IPE,
http://ipe-wood.com/faq.html,
as it is impervious to insects, rot and fungus and about is three times
harder than teak, cedar, PT-SYP or other weather resistant woods.


OP was thinking about oak. White oak would be the choice, red oak is
porous and rots readily.

Other domestic woods that might be better are black locust, very hard
and rot resistant, and osage orange (aka bodark, or hedge).
