What wood to use in bathrooms?

[squeek]

Hi I would like to replace the panel on my bath, but unsure of what type of wood is best. I would be grateful of any help and advice.

Done a few of these on bathroom refits........some people go for the plastic panels supplied, though recently had a customer who wanted MDF routed to their own design, it was then prep'd painted and looked very effective. T&G cladding seems to do the trick as well, fixed onto accurate frame, make sure you finish with an oil based paint though.
