A web search says Curlin is the name of company that makes material handling equipment.We have yellow pine in a 51 and white oak in the 37.The oak looks better seems more durable. A local wood worker sold me the wood and milled it for less money than mail order. We stained the boards almost black, then applied CFW,the stuff used on decking.Every year or two I slop on another coat of CFW right over the boards and metal strips.This stuff soaks into the wood and rough stuff won't bother it, as its not a surface coating.It looks ok but not as slick as a urethane finish
