Mr. 16 Gauge, nothing wrong with trying redwood- it might be very attractive.
One thing you could do, if durability is a worry- use a hard epoxy finish on the wood, rather than something like oil that soaks in. The original Acra Glas that came with the flocking separate was the consistency of water when mixed, and was often used as a high gloss stock finish- and that stuff is tough! If you don't want a high gloss finish, a little rubbing with rottenstone and oil will knock the high gloss off it.
