I like birch too, (its what habs used) but birch has to be sealed good or it will crack. I have heard maple needs to be sealed VERY well or the same issues arise.

I chose cherry because its naturally rot resistant, holds up as well as birch (I've found it to be very similar) and its easy to seal. And cause I saw a post by Tagger saying its good

surprised bassmaster hasn't tried to ho us yet!
