Steve, the sides are Luan Mahogany, The roof is baltic birch, and the gingerbread is Poplar. It was the cheapest hardwood i could find, and most of it was a nice white color. Fairly easy to work with.... a lot softer than maple or birch....

Joanne.. Your trailer is awsome.... I was always pissed off because you took so long to update your website. I followed your build from the beginning...( Thought you were a little bit nuts for converting an old boat trailer though.....) :lol:
