White oak all the way! Get wood that doesn"t have any sap wood on the edges. It is considered a boat building wood and is tough stuff! I would not use rough cut as it leaves low spots for water to collect and will let fungus get started. As for water proofing, Mopping it down with used motor oil mixed with kerosene to thin it works exellent, and you get a new supply everytime you change oil in something.Also put some in an old sprayer with some kero to thin it and spray the underside. Main thing is to not let fungus get started in the wood. If you are worried about skidding on the oil just toss sand over it afterwards. The only drawback is if it gets wet with the oil on it, it will get slick! the first year or two put the oil on twice a year and after that once a year should be good if you oil it in the fall when you are done for the winter. If you do all that the wood might outlast the trailer!
