276305 James DuPrie <jbn.duprie@g...> 2022‑09‑11 Re: what wood for a screen door (and other building thoughts).....
OK, a bit more detail:
Door will be finished with varnish (probably spar to deal with
temp/humidity changes).

other wood options include:
alder, ash, basswood, birch (yellow or red), butternut, hickory, mahogany,
hard or soft maple, white or red oak, poplar, or eastern white pine.

what would you choose, and why.
(recap: screen door is in a protected location, so won't get more than
occasional wind blown rain or snow, and is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Climate is maine - hot and humid in summer, cold and dry in winter).

-thanks
