My hammock stretchers are thoroughly rotten and I have to make some replacements. Sure, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new hammock, but I am odd that way. Anyhow, I think that a hardwood would do better mechanically than PT or cedar. Are any sufficiently weather proof to be left outside? Oak, hickory, or what? Mahogany isn't all that expensive. Is is strong enough for this application?
