O'contrar, Mon frair! Although pine certainly has pitch in it, it would not take long before the pitch would have been removed through "holy stoning", sun light and water. I can not say for certain whether or not oak would have been used as decking. I can say that pine absolutely was! Why would a sailor be worried about tracking pine pitch around, when the caulking is tar? Live oak was used in framing and as the heavy structural members: keel, keelson, horn timber, stem, knees and gripes. <br /> <br />However, none of this matters as we're representing decks with scribed venier wood, all that matters is that they look right!
