Duck Daddy,
You can use poplar instead and gluing 1 x 2 together will also work to get the 2 x 2. Oak is not the only hardwood you can use though probaly common. The key word to remember is "hardwood" You want to use a hardwood, pine is considered a "softwood". I think you can use pine for the spars except for the hatch but I my preference is to use a hardwood. Poplar happens also to be cheaper to buy than Oak

If ducks had scales, would fish quack?
