At risk of upsetting forum mods I add this thread. It may give you some ideas.

Which woods to use is a good question! I did add a couple of local woods that I know are safe. I think rule of thumb is watch to see what your local wild birds stay away from and do not use these.
I use Stainless screws and plastic cable ties to hold my Play Gym together.
