Graham is partially right, the Deck is made from Pinus radiata(the Monterey pine) treated to last longer and the Frame is of Macrocarpa(Monterey Cypress) which is the nicer wood, both in colour and smell. That 4x8 had been weathering for a year or two outside the Shop hence the silvered sides and raw ends.
