I agree with the others. But, to answer the question you asked, if you do use wood - any type of wood - it should be stabilized.
And stress the point Doug made about the dish washer. No matter what type of scale you choose, stabilized or synthetic, the glue under the scale will fail in a dishwasher. That will lead to warped scales if the material can warp and/or a space under the scales where rust and bacteria can collect ....
