Working it, bending it and staining it ( or getting epoxy into it ) has usually
been the top complaints.

On my 30, I used oak the first time. I sealed the ends and faces with epoxy,
but apparently didn't do a good enough job as it sucked up water. Now oak
bends very nicely when wet, especially if hot. Needless to say, within a few
years I had to replace because the mast was getting too low for

Collin,
If you haven't seen it check out Paul's write up on his own mast step
rebuild. As for epoxy coated hardwood I suggest G10 instead. Or at least
a some other 1/2 inch FRP board similar to what Paul used.

My mast step stringers were in very bad shape and the mast plate was dropping
into the bilge so I'm replacing the step this winter. I have a few questions...

Maple is not very rot resistant, but oak is.
There is a reason why oak was the material of choice for ship building.
