I remember someone who did well making custom wood mailboxes as a child. I just wanted to tell the pros that it might be a good idea for them to get into that.

I'm already doing that at the wholesale, custom for whole neighborhood level.
A nuc box would be about the same size in size as a large mail box. Something in the three to four frame size. (Used to operate fifty hives, but no more.)That's one of the projects I have had planned for a while. A mailbox that looks like a beehive.
Thermally modified Accoya that I saw at IWF had been a canal liner in the Netherlands for 13 years and so no signs of rot. Contact Rex Lumber about some info if you like. Most of the "designer mail box posts" I have seen slip over a 4 X 4. The 4 X 4 has to be dry before it is used though, or it will twist and make the boxes look sad, or weird.Bruce,
We think a like. I talked to Lewis Lumber three weeks ago about using thermally modified for this application. They don't recommend placing it in contact with the ground. The only way to use it would be in apps where the mailbox post is hollow and slides over a preset PT post.
I'm experimenting with some Therm Mod cherry and soft maple right now in some of my craft items.
