Hardwoods were preferable to evergreens. Pine trees and such are soft and easier to work, but they don't last as long, they decompose after a few years, and they have all that sticky sap all over them. They're a greater fire hazard too. Chestnut was best, but oak, maple and hickory were all good. But, you'd have to use whatever was available, close enough to your building site.
