Could you use some other type of wood and finish cedar planks of the appropriate size to it to make a fake, but real looking cedar post? Not sure if it cuts down cost, just an idea.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Not sure why you want to replace metal with wood Because it looks better.

Why don't you just wrap the metal columns,.. I've done a lot of them. You can get PVC and be done with it Yup. PVC won't crack, termite proof and doesn't require attention unlike wood.

Leave metal posts and box them in with wood. That's what I'm planning on doing. Not sure what type of wood yet.

PVC is the devil. Wrap the columns in cedar or cypress. Kona stain is fantastic.
