I am about to build an arbor using 4 X 12 western cedar. I had thought about using a 2" straight cutting bit with a top bearing and cutting the first side using a template. Then go to the opposite side use a 2" straight bit with a bottom bearing and use the previous cut as a template to finish the cut.
I didn't mention but I am cutting th scallop on the ends of the main beam to mimic the same cuts on the joists which I can cut with a jig-saw, the joists are a full 2" and the beams are a full 4".
Anyone have any thoughts on a better way or comments on the method I have described.
Thanks,
Larry
