I have found Alaskan Yellow Cedar to be suitable for turning posts , it is sold as durability "class one " , it is beautiful to turn , except for the occasional knot . I dont know where to get it as the yard i bought it from has now closed , but i'm shore it will be available elsewhere, it was being imported in 100 x 100 or 150 x 50 sections . I wouldn't reccomend laminated timber as eventually the glue will break down , and the joins open up .

gooday and welcome to the board.
We have been turning and using laminated clear pine ( from NZ) verandah posts for close on 25 years ( got them on our own house) and there is no break down of any joints in any of them.
