Yeah, problem is I don't live in the states so the wood availability is not the same here. I believe red oak is native to the states so it doesn't exist in the same volumes. We do have a shitload of pine, so everything is pine. My hopes is to find a pre-cut board that will suffice, I guess I can have something cut but it's just a hassle and more expensive in comparison to finding a done board.
I'm guessing the best I'll find is birch. Maybe something else. Does regular oak function?
Justin Snyder:
Birch will work as will many of the oaks.
El Destructo:
Where do You live?? I like Birch...River or Paper Birch....I have had good luck with it...and as for Oak...aint never found an Oak tree that didn't have a Bow in it....... ;D

The reason I asked Where again...well I should have been more specific....is because the Southern Part of Sweden
like Skane.....and Blekingeis loaded with Deciduous Trees....like oak... ash... elm... lime... hazel... birch...and beech .....while areas like Varmland and Darlana are split between Coniferous and Deciduous Trees....and the Mountainous Regions are almost all Coniferous Trees.....
