drilling hole in LVL column?

lavrod | Posted in Code Questions on

There is much information available on drilling into an LVL beam but very little concerning drilling  a hole in a structural LVL post.  I need a small hole for an electrical cable which would be a 1/2″ hole in a 5 1/4″ square post.  Comments please.
