scribbled this interesting note:

Teak would be best, it is the wood you will find on quality boats. It is
easy to renew or let go grey. It will cost the most but will outlast the
others by far.

Or if you are tooled up for it, Ipe might be a good choice, but be
ready to go through some saw blades as this stuff isn't called
Ironwood for nothing!

Even Bois d'Arc might work for this application, but there, again, buy
lots of extra blades.
