cherry is nice to work with but not a good wood for contact with salt water, it should definately be sealed first.
maple or birch
Alaskan yellow cedar
sizes from 3/4 x 3/4 up to 2x2
but mostly 1x1 or 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"
The size that I start with depends on what I am making whether it is a needle or a large swimmer.
