Hi Jim- The best wood would be marine grade plywood but its expensive. I just built a rudder for my daysailer and used exterior plywood (17 bucks for half a sheet) and epoxyied it. Of course you have to figure in the epoxy which is expensive, I had some from a previous project. So far it has held up well.
