Default Re: Wood for bodies

the replies seem to go 50/50 here.

car makers from the turn of the century used ash, not oak for sub rails...............

oak is a prettier wood for display, such as woody tailgates, but even my 52 buick woody is ash.

it is harder then any oak and especially maple. I wouldnt even consider maple for structural wood.
