what is the best wood to use for a guitar neck (staright through)

I was just planning my guitar with all the measurements and I was wondering does the scale length start from where the end of the bridge is to where the end of the nut it (where the strings leave the bridge and where the strings just meet the nut). any help is much appreciated

Hey my name is Ryan and i was building my first guitar. I'll probably make a second one once i get it down, but i was wondering whats the cheapest wood would be but yet still strong enought it wouldn't break when strings are put on it (it's going to be a straight through). I want to paint it a solid color so I'm not worrying about how it looks. if anyone can give me any help that would be great. ROCK ON!!
