| Wood for pilothouse construction?
Thanks to those who have replied with their "best practices" for painting, sealing, and preserving bare wood. Please don't let me discourage anyone from offering alternative techniques, even if only slightly different - all of the information is relevant.
What type of wood is "best" for framing (reframing) a pilothouse on a ferro boat? I'm thinking pressure treated if I plan to paint everything, but I'm worried about paint/epoxy adhesion. Teak and mahogany are probably out of my reach $ wise, cedar's too soft, oak's not too cheap either. Suggestions?
As always, thanks for your ideas and the benefit of your experience.
John
