RE: Sassafras

Hi Ceres,

The new chemicals (since the old CCA was deemed toxic to everyone) are quite
active with steel and aluminum.  In just a couple of years you'll have holes
eaten (from the acids in the new green wood) through your covers.  If you
can find it PVC doesn't have this problem.

Rich, this is not good news. The wood we used is the "new" green wood.  Our
columns are actual aluminum.  What's the verdict?  How does it eat it?
