My lady has commissioned me to build a garden bench. She wants it painted
(white). It will rest near a lake in the Blue Ridge (VA). What wood do you
suggest the bench be made of?

Thanks in advance for your advice.


Outdoor woods: Teak, cypress, redwood, white oak, cedar, or
pressure-treated wood. Perhaps cypress or white oak would be a good
choice. Use stainless-steel fasteners.
