I think yellow pine or oak.

Rene, The beds were all oak...just like this one! And yours better look this good when it is done! See me about how to do this...LOL...8-10 coats of McCloskey's Man 'O War Marine Spar Varnish. I should have showed you my woodwork today when you stopped by.

Rene, Either Orence1 or I can get you great prices on oak or other hardwoods in the area. Just let us know and we can fix you up. I am dying to do a nice wood bed in my Longhorn! The stepside is going to run without a bed for now I guess. Still working on the frame and box.
