If anyone has some tips on how to properly wrap a pressure treated post with cedar for aesthetic reasons please send them along. I am curious as to the type of cedar, the joinery, nails, glue, etc…
Thanks for the tips in advance.

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

Aw, you shoulda said that it was to relieve the stress in the wood.
That's a nice way to do it
Since since the cedar he's using looks like S1S1E, it allows him to butt a finished edge to a finished cut for a tight joint. Cutting the rabbet a little deep and finishing off with a flush-trim bit would give you a nice smoooth face all the way around, I'll bet that's what he did.
Galvanized nails work well on cedar but I like stainless for trim nails since the head is hidden. For common nails, I've always used the Maze nails ( http://www.mazenails.com/priceguide_maze.php ), the original small-head ones. We don't put up enough cedar that we need gun nails but they make them. They don't shine in the light like stainless nails.
Best,
