Strip: light color wood for accent strips

what wood species are you all using for the light color deck accent strips? I am using western red cedar to build a guillemot. Might stain it with Behlen and scarpe the stain off the accent strips. I see poplar and aspen boards at Menards but they dont seem very non porous. Could try douglas fir but would have to rip down construction lumber.
