Larch
Blunts all your tools due to high silica content tho. High burning temp too - they plant rows of it as fire breaks as pine can be burning down right beside it and it won't catch alight!
I know but it's really nice to work with, grain is predictable and easy to read.
Added to the above it lasts for aaaages untreated outdoors thanks to its high resin content
I know, I just wanted to flex larch knowledge like the nerd I am. I'd deffo use it for outdoor use. Siberian and slow grown if possible!
