My wood treatment was made from 1x12 "Merch" grade redwood (rough and very cheap back in the day, basically fence wood). I selected the best wood I could find from several lumber yards in the widest, straightest, best stuff I could get and ripped all the pieces into 5 or 6 different widths. The wood is nailed up to an acoustic grid that is on my wall at the back of the studio and folds up to cover the entire ceiling. The grid is out a minimum of 4" from the sheetrock and triangulates at the wall/ceiling interface for a 3' deep bass trap above the CR window. The space behind the redwood is 2" Owens Corning 703 with air traps behind that. There are random width spaces between the wood planks to allow sound into the trapping and to expose the depth and edges of the redwood to get a more random diffusion back into the room. It was a big project but an integral part of the overall room design and was conceived as the major acoustic feature of the live room. It has worked well for 35 years now!
