: Has anybody ever used basswood? I was thinking of using this with mahogany
: for the deck. I have the option of using basswood or white pine. Opinions
: welcomed.

In the picture the white deck plank strips are Basswood and the thin side highlight strips are Pine. They look almost the same but the Pine is quite a bit lighter. If you want to save weight I would go with the Pine.
