Cedar, Cyprus, (white) oak or vertical grain fir seem to be common

Mahogany. Jarrah. What do you want it to look like?

Sturdy. Stable. Machines well. Takes finishes well. Reacts predictably
to UV. Fits your budget.

Our front door gets a fair amount of abuse, so it's made of fiberglass. It
was going to be painted red in any case.
