Considering Hemlock Posts for the Sugar Woods—Your Thoughts?

Considering Hemlock Posts for the Sugar Woods—Your Thoughts?

This morning we milled out some 2x2x8 posts out of hemlock. While thinking about alternatives to use in the sugar woods for grading main lines, has anyone used Hemlock posts before?

We are thinking about offering sawed 2x2 hemlock posts at the store for customers to purchase for their sugar woods. Knowing how strong and durable hemlock is, it also has a very good longevity vs other dimensional soft wood such as pine.
Let us know if you’ve tried them in the woods, if you think it’s a good idea, or any other thoughts about it!
