If I was in your position having all the machinery to straighten out and dress the timbers all round, I'd go to a demolition yard and select framing timbers salvaged from old homes. They're eucalypts, very hard and seasoned. Since you are painting them, you can fill nail holes with an external sealer and they're brand new again. I have used these types of timbers before for window casings, awning windows and skirtings and cannot fault them as long as they are sound (no cracks or rotting) and straight.
Very cheap too.
