Also current progress:

Hopefully I didn’t mess up too bad by joining/glueing while still wet.

Maybe so.

In my experience PT's going to move around some, shrink, and the joinery likely open up some as it dries. What you got going now is probably ok. But mitered corners and anything laid parallel will open up and widen.

It’s def gonna move. How much is the question. I’ve never used wet wood but my kitchen table was made with regular 2x10s and untreated 4x4s. It’s moved a little, but not enough to split. Just enough to make it look like a shitty job. But It’s about as good as can be expected when you using schrapnel for joinery lol

But, I’d say your margin of error on an outside sofa is larger than a kitchen table. Meaning, it ain’t as big of a deal if it’s not perfect
