It depends on what your going to do with it. If it's mostly for show, then Oak will be great. If you want it to last forever - use the YELLOW Pine. The White Pine will be soft, but the yellow can be as hard as a rock. If you are planning to "work" it, the Oak will discolor, dry out, shrink, and warp. If you are keeping it outdoors, you won't like what the weather does to the Oak. Most wooden farm equipment was made from Fir or Yellow Pine.
As for the angle iron - what you have sounds ok (2"). How much weight does it have to hold?
