Use Cedar. If you use pine, you'll get pine tar on your (_|_).

Cedar is the wood of choice for saunas.

Answer 5

some species of pine, like the nordic spruce are good enough for this purpose. Cedar smells a little bitter, but it`s moisture content is high, so it won't bend, and repels some bugs. Maybe you should use teak, but alder is a very fine choice as well
