I have used epoxy sealed red oak ~ 1" (actually less but its called 1x6 whatever!) as backing plates for my primary winches (Lewmar #50?) on my 36 XL/kcb. It is one of the 'hardest'? of the hardwoods and I am confident that these plates will last a very long time--they have been in place for ~8 years with no signs of weakening.
