VM,

This link might help:

My personal belief is QS or "vertical grain" with the grain radial to the axis.  This would mean the tip would appear to be "flat sawn".  Species selection would be a personal choice.  Eastern White Pine is rot resistant, has near the strength of Spruce and machines well by hand or machine.
