Hi everyone out there. Any feed back will do! Which would you use? Have been told Jarrah more prone to twisting and worping, plus harder to get 4 mtr lenghts of jarrah compared to pine.:confused:

I suspect that I can reliably predict that all advice will be on the side of jarrah - looks good, will last a life time, wont crack as it dries, is much much harder than pine, can be clear oiled (i'm hoping you arent going to leave the tp natural") and costs more and is more difficult to install.
While the pine will make you feel good just after you've done it, in 5 yrs time on a spring morning, you will look out on your freshly oiled jarrah deck, and think, man, I did a good job on that deck!
Purchase and build is a one month effect, the ownership will last a lifetime (is that a BMW line or something?)

Why not Merbu ? Great for decks and looks fabulous. I suspect it's cheaper than Jarrah too.
