I've posted here before about gates I am making out of cypress. They will be very similar to these:
Second: I have a lot of 2" wide strips left over from making the pieces for the gates. Rather than toss them in a ravine, I was thinking I could take 2 or 3 of these strips and exterior glue, and make new, wider pieces (with a jointer). Would these new 5" or 6" glued up pieces be usable outdoors just as 'regular' solid pieces; i.e. will glue hold up here? Cheers!
