Wood Type for new bed

[Dan Wales]

I have the stainless pieces from previous bed it was Pine and had lasted several years. I'm certain it was not parked inside either.

Ive considered Red Oak, White Oak, Aspen, Poplar, and Select Pine.

The Red & White Oak are the most expensive right at $300 just for the wood.

Looking for some opinions I have seen some beautiful beds on here. Poplar would hold up well and it's about half the cost of Oak.

The select pine they have here is pretty knot free and has a nice grain to it and now that my baby will be parked inside 90% of the time that would last for years.

Sooooooo I was just looking for some opinions, it's not a show truck, or a daily work truck I have even considered synthetic I have seen a couple on here done nicely with that.

Appreciate tips and thoughts.
