Mohagony and Teak are common woods used on boats.<br /> Magogany is usually stained and varnished with one of many types of marine finishes made today.<br /> Teak is usually oiled While these woods are beautiful when finished right<br />They are are pretty pricey and do require frequent maintenance.And certainly not as comfortable as a cushion.

Redwood is also strong, rot resistant and beautiful. It's a common wood in boats. Cedar is used for some boatbuilding but it's quite soft.
