No one knows for sure. It is not mentioned in The Bible. There are some guesses that it may have been made of Lebanon cedar, or olive wood, or of planetree wood. One researcher claims to have found small pieces of the Holy Cross, and claims they are pine. If so, it might be
stone Pine, Aletto Pine, or some other kind.
The Romans recycled their crosses, so that makes it even harder to determine the wood species.

We will never know what kind of wood was used, but it would certainly have been a wood of little value for any other use. The same cross would have been used for dozens of previous crucifixions and for dozens of further crucifixions after Jesus. When it was no longer usable, it was probably burnt on a campfire to keep the soldiers warm, or for their cooking. As we will never find the true cross, we can never answer this question.
The Holy Cross is traditionally believed to have been made from the wood of a dogwood tree. However, there is no definitive historical evidence to confirm the type of wood used for the Holy Cross.

Did Jesus die on a cross or on a stake?
Historical accounts indicate that Jesus was crucified on a cross, which was a common method of execution during that time period. The shape of the cross as we commonly know it (two intersecting beams) is most likely accurate based on historical evidence and biblical descriptions.
Where is Jesus' cross located now?
The cross has probably disintegrated by now or it was used for numerous purposes at the time. Once crosses were removed and taken down, they were used for firewood, for building, etc.As the centuries rolled on and mounds of different civilisations were built on mounds, the cross has disappeared. This is a good thing really, as the cross should not be venerated in any one. It was an instrument of torture for the many who hung on it.Occasionally we hear that that the cross of Jesus, or a piece of the cross has been found and is a closely guarded relic. However, Jesus could only die on one cross and the number of "crosses" now owned by "collectors" is all out of proportion.
