Usually it was ash.
The bows and sideracks from the MLVW can be used on the M135 with some minor modification. The top bows have to be shortened 3 inches or so if I recall. As well, the wood occasionally got replaced with fiberglass slats starting in the mid-90s. While technically not correct for the M135, it does have a lot better longevity. Unfortunately, the MLVWs are pretty much out of service now. Here in Shilo, the vast majority of the bows and sideracks were taken to the dump and burned. I did manage to secure a reasonable amount for the Shilo museum.
