Weathered cedar, or weathered pressure treated?

I built that out of 60 year old old growth redwood from the deck off of a house that got torn down

It’ll be there forever

I can’t imagine how much it would cost it you can even find old redwood

Cutting down cedar to use for fence posts. The dead ones are the best. The sap wood already rotted off and what’s left ain’t going nowhere.

Locust is almost as good.

Locust is great if you find it at the right age and don’t mind dealing with the thorns. The problem
With locust can be if you don’t work with while green you’ll never drive a nail or staple in it.

Osage orange is great too if you can find it straight.

Watching Bullit on TMC, and just the cars in the background parked on the streets are amazing.

I may be wrong, but I think honey locust doesn't have the thorns. Plenty of farmers around here cut them when the trunks is about 5-6 inches in diameter for posts.

You are right about how hard it gets.

If you catch them young they may not have as many thorns.

How about that green Beetle? Or the parked one they clipped in that one shot? Most dramatic seatbelt buckling ever.

Honey locust can have 3 to 4 inch thorns but some varieties are thornless. I think they originally had thorns but cultivars were developed without because those were some nasty looking thorns. If I remember correctly from a dendrology class from a long time ago.
