So, anybody have some good species of wood in mind??

The world is your oyster. You can pretty much use any kind of wood known to
man. Me personally? I like to keep the wood flow going with what is
already being used so I would get some knotty pine to dress it up. No need
to glue it really. Just shoot or nail some trim nails, finish it, putty
with colored putty. If you want, you can even mitre the corners. Let us
know what you decided on so we can decide to heckle you or not. ;-)
