What dou you mean by "equivalent" in width?

So that no advantage is gained by having more wood. This is a simple
question.

If "equivalent" is meant that the same strength is reached there
is no difference...

I don't believe that. Fred answered the same way I did... that a post
turned from a tree would have greater strength than a square post.
