Default Novice Question

I built an arbor using cedar, which was easy to cut with a hand-held jigsaw.
Now I want to use a similar design to make a pergola porch above my front
door. This time, I was to use pressure treated wood because the original
porch rotted out.

Here's the question. Can I easily cut pressure treated wood? I plan on
making freehand cuts and I'm not sure if pressure treated wood allows for
this. Also, I need to use a wood chissle on it too.

Here is a picture of my arbor:

See how the ends are cut? Do you think I have any chance of duplicating the
ends on a piece of pressure treated lumber? If not, what do you suggest?

Thanks,
Frank
