I know it's a step outside the woodshop and onto the porch, but has anyone worked with thermally modified wood (Westwood, Thermory, etc.)? I'll be building a porch and a breezeway which will be open but covered with roofs. I want something low-maintenance (stain is OK, but I don't want to have to scrape and paint), I'd rather not use tropical hardwoods, and I don't like the look or price of the plastics. I would consider just doing good job of selecting clean PT lumber and finishing it nicely, but my wife doesn't want gaps in the deck boards. Thermally modified wood sounds like a good solution: durable, rot resistant, minimal shrinkage, and affordable. Does anyone have any experience with these products? Thanks.
