Unless you are in southern New England The white oak might be hard to come by. I personally don't think you need anything that heavy, but I am no expert. If it were me I would use ash. Fir or Spruce would probably work fine too.

oak would be nice, but I agree that nicer white oak is hard to come by around me.  I would think hemlock would be the choice for me, tough and avaliable, with not much of a market.

Good choices above  :)  I would prefer white oak.  How much do you need and how long??

BTW - I went with Eastern Hemlock - plenty of that in New Hampshire...
