Second guessing the Red Oak option.

While LOTS of people are using Red Oak for the bed floors, these are mostly the "show" trucks with the miles-deep bar-table varnish on top. Clearly not for going to Art Knapps Plant Land for a scoop of crushed granite, or skidding a big block Chevy to the header panel to haul home from Pick-N-Pull.

I looked at other wood options = I'm kind of committed since I have new bed skid and angle strips coming. I looked at Ipe and Apitong, and Hemlock, and Hickory....

I'm back at my original though on going composite. Composite works out to about $210, since I can get three boards out of a 20' length, and it's cheaper by the 20'.
