Go to Lavonia. Good ole boys and a fair price.

Yeah and it's so cool putting magnets on your cypress beams cause they're totally magnetic..... oh wait they aren't. I'm assuming the OP isn't a settler building a log cabin and he has access to modern materials. Go with the aluminum bro.

I don't think I'd be using exposed creosote posts for a home. Aren't their health concerns related to creosote?
They don't appear to be creosote, looks more like CCA, better IMO.

The Olde Mill in Baton Rouge does hollow box beams, beam wraps, hollow mantles, etc. They're made from re-engineered REAL wood and look really good once installed.

WOW! Those are beautiful. Your home? The Olde Mill even has an online shop and custom quote function, so you can see what it would cost in your home.

Get steel posts and wrap them in wood. Guaranteed to never warp.
