I'm most likely to use white oak, but was just curious. I have a lot of ash, but it's evidently not as rot resistant. Here's a link to the chart I was refering to:

New ribs

I'm well into the restoration of my '64 Seamate. I'll be replacing about 42 ribs. Almost certian to use white oak, but I'm curious that yellow pine is the equal to WO in all catagories. Any thoughts on yellow pine for ribs?
