I used pressure treated lumber from the home store. Chose wet pieces
for easier bending. Inexpensive and readily available and, IMHO,
likely to last significantly longer than plain fir. Redwood or cedar
are mighty spendy for something that's gonna get covered with
carpet. My 2 cents...

Recommendations on species? I've used cedar in the past, but clear
cedar in the correct dimension is very pricy. I'm thinking Doug fir.
Any thoughts? t
