Oak is the easiest to find hardwood in most areas. It is very durable and it tends not to fade as quickly as a less dense wood. It is quite expensive. Mahogany is very beautiful and should be stained not painted. Avoid using pine in furniture. It is knotty and uneven. It cracks and swells quickly. Ash is a no no in many areas right now because of the Emerald Ash Borer, but it is easy to work with and not as expensive as oak. Poplar is your next best bet. Beach is also a good choice, but poplar is more consistent in density. If you are painting it a dark color poplar and beach aren't much different. Oak is still the best for durability and lognevity.
