I want to make a fan shaped trellis for a climbing plant. I will be using strips of wood about 1/4" x 3/4" and will need to splice them because the pieces I have are not long enough. They will be attached at the base and bent outward at the top into a fan shape with horizontal stringers to hold the bent pieces in place. What is a good method for splicing the long pieces that will be strong enough to hold under the stress of bending?
Also I want to use cherry because I have a lot of it. What is the best thing to treat it with that will withstand the weather? Any design ideas or photos of designs would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
