Thanks Lyle,

The samson posts on Murre are teak, and I'm fairly certain this was factory.

As to a good wood for this purpose, many will work. James on Pyxis just replaced his with Ipe, another dense, heavy wood. I think the photos of Steve's Sean O' Sea suggest he used Doug Fir. Steve went with one, larger post versus our two smaller ones.

Hope that helps.

RR

Sprit hung in the garage. 10 coats--one before work and one after since Monday. Took about 35 minutes per coat and 80% of a quart of Bristol. But man, no sanding!
