All,
My friend from New Zealand wants to build a sauna and needs a recommendation as to which lumber to use for paneling in the sauna.
For those unfamiliar with a Sauna, it is a Finnish steam bath where you heat a small room up to about 200 degrees F or 95 degrees C and throw water on the rocks that are placed on top of the heater to create steam.
This fellow is looking for a species of lumber that will not weep sap and is relatively easy to work with (ie not one of the super hard, super heavy species). Bonus for a species that smells nice and is rot resistant.
