    Large KD turning blanks? (12x12x4 or larger)

    I was able to find some 12x4 KD Sapele on turning blanks.net. I don't usually look for KD blanks that big but If I had more time for this client, I would have turned green. Thanks all!

    Cedar posts for Arbor/Pergola - green or KD?

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for the sketchup! My plan was to use more cedar for the upper structure - probably 2x4s. I'm pretty stoked for this project! Thanks for everyone's advice. This forum is amazing!

    haha that's fair but I'd be a fool to let my wife know that �� Anyway , my plan is adapted from the southeast landscape design book and it's across between a pergola and arbor, if you go by strict definitions. Attached is a photo of the plan.

    Thank you Dennis! I'm a newb so, pardon the ignorance: what part of the ERC/WRC large fence posts (4x4 or larger) generally sawn from? Are they from all layers, rift sawn in perpendicular direction?

    We're planning on growing muscadine grapes on the trellis so maybe they'll stick to just pollinating the grape flowers :)

    Also, how much do their 4x4 or 6x6 posts sell for? I couldn't find a pricing sheet on their website and I suspect they might be closed. Thanks!

    Hi Scott, that's what I've heard too. Have you had clients who have experience building arbors?

    Cedar posts for Arbor/Pergola - green or KD?

    Thats great insight! However, I've heard cedar is naturally resistant to termites. An alternative would be to grout to surface and bolt the posts in place. Have you done one or the other? Have you had better luck with one or the other?

    Cedar posts for Arbor/Pergola - green or KD?

    Thanks for the quick response! I assumed people on this forum would have had experience building arbors. I wouldn't really want loose bolts with all the rafters above my head. From what I've read up, cedar is supposed to have low shrinkage and hygroscopic. Have you built any arbors with KD...

    Cedar posts for Arbor/Pergola - green or KD?

    Good morning, I'm building an arbor/pergola for my wife and, I plan on using 4x4 or 6x6 cedar posts, 8-10' long (2' below sub grade). Lowe's sells these posts for a reasonable price ($45 a piece) but, they are green. I have not worked with green lumber before so I'm wondering how much warping...
