Redwood would have been a good choice, also some
cedars, it would depend on the price at the time of
purchase as to what a contractor would use and lumber
prices have changed over the years. Developements in
third world countries has a lot to do with the
availability of some species of wood, too. That's why
its not that unusual to see mahogany used for the long
pieces of the side racks. In the '50's long pieces of
good oak were easy to get, fairly cheap, too, but not
anymore!!
Black Walnut used to be the highest priced American
hardwood, now its Black Cherry.
