According to the Bible, God told Noah to make an ark out of 'gopher' wood, a wood entirely unknown to scholars today. Based on the etymology of the word and the widespread use of reed boats in very early times, some scholars say that gopher wood meant reeds. It has been noted that boats made of reeds were quite seaworthy and could not be engulfed by the waves. Of course, this assumes that the biblical story of Noah's Ark was based on much earlier legends originating at a time before timber construction became normal.
Gopher wood. After God gave Noah the directive to build the Ark. Noah went to his sons (Shem, Ham and Japheth) and said "GO FOR WOOD" and they did.
Used just once in Genesis 6:14 with God instructing Noah to use this wood in the construction of the Ark, it was not translated in the King James Version. Modern versions tend to translate this wood to Cypress.
It's a fictional story. Therefore I'm sure we have no clue.
First mention of Noah is when he was about 500 yrs old. he finished building the ark when he was 600 yrs old. So he worked on the ark for approximately 100 years. The ark was made of wood, but this must be a special wood that does not dry up, shrink and do not rot, for 100 years. There are no known tree today that shows this characteristics. It may be extinct now and we may never know what kind of wood Noah used.
