Just got back from Woodcraft. 3 of them and me looked over the new piece. I had painted the new piece black. Based on the end grain visible it appeared to be Red Oak. Red Oak will absorb water easily. They did not have small and inexpensive pieces of Maple, Beech, Birch, Elm, Oak or Ash so I went to my woodpile with White Oak and Hickory. I will fire up my equipment and make up two pieces to replace the pieces from the set. Now I will have a complete new set that will outlast me.
