I found some CHEAP TEAK at Lumber Liquidators http://www.lumberliquidators.com if there is one in your area. It is 1" x 3.5" x 6 feet actual size for 0.89 cents per foot. YES - that is $5.34 per board. They call it decking but it could be used for structural members or finish work also. Much more rot resistant than OAK or Mahogany. It is "Brazilian Teak", which is also known as Cumaru or Southern Chestnut in other regions of the world. But it is just as dense and looks just like Teak.

On my Fuji 35 all the rotted rood is Mahogany. The teak is as good as when installed 31 years ago.

I replaced the beam under the steering with synthetic lumber purchased at Lowe's It is made from recycled plastic bags and wood chips.
