For anything.
Churches, houses, roads, palaces, anything.

Maple and Oak, nothing beats the smell of wood

Latvian pine trees beat anything.
I was building a sauna-house, before the winter, using it.

Wood is my least favourite. I barely take it seriously as a building material.

I prefer stone and brick.

Cast iron and steel are good.

Not fussy about too much glass though.

Wood (specifically pine) and steel are proven to be reliable materials to construct structures.

Stone also is also a good choice in rainy environments.
