I just, today, realized that my Square came with one of your racks. I knew I loved it. I just didn't see the sticker till today.
My question is what type of wood do you use for your racks? Mine is in need of some new wood. I wanted your recommendation for a long lasting wood and a treatment for the wood to make it last longer.
Here are a couple of pictures. You can see how the wood on it is bowed and in need of some love.

That is why I love this forum. I would have never thought of that. And it should be a simple fix too.
As far as the color, it was rainy yesterday. That made it a little darker than usual. I'll snap another pick this weekend when I flip the slats and clear it.
