   No I have never tryed it, I think you are on the right track thinking about the shrinkage problem. PT is never going to look like a peice of furniture anyway, to much work and bother for the final result

   I have and they've held up well. Used a Lee Valley pug cutter and type 3 glue.

   There is competition for the Lee Valley from Woodworkers that claims their stainless cutter is a better choice. Don't know how it cuts but I can tell you the LV rusts readily and with the PT chemicals and general wetness SS would be worth a consideration.

   C:

   Yeah, I doubt the plugs would stay put.  Probably not worth it.  Here's another idea: I've used the double-threaded square drive screws designed for composite decking on PT decking, and they work pretty good.  The head is a little bit nicer than the head of a regular deck screw and there are more color options.
