2x6 - 2x12 Construction common redwood will solve all you problems, leave it natural and let it oxidize to a nice weathered gray and it should be readily available in your area.

I'd make that table out of white oak, not construction lumber. It's not just warp you have to deal with...it's rot and insect damage.

Whatever wood you end up using it will turn grey within a season or two. I built a padauk outdoor table, it's going on five years now and nicely silvered.
It started Red off bright orange then became a nice brown pretty quickly but eventually turned grey.
Bumbling forward into the unknown.
