Help! What wood to use to create this outdoor table?

I love the design of this table and after taking a bunch of pics, am pretty sure I can recreate it, using 2inch x 10 inch x 10 foot lumber. But I don't know what wood to use!

I initially thought it might be pressure treated lumber, but now I think that is the wrong call for an outdoor table. The table I am copying from seems to be kind of unfinished and almost wearing away / silvering, but I like that - I'd like it to wear similarly after many days in rain, snow, sun. I'd rather not fight the elements, and just let the wood age naturally.

I'd also rather not spend a fortune on what will ultimately be a first trial of this design. Could it just be regular pine? Or kiln dried?

Please help with what type of wood this is, or what type it should be??

Thanks!
