Not sure of reason why anyone would need treated lumber.

In North Ga some took the chain saw lumber kit and created out of a long =
log a Five by Twelve inch beam. It was cut in winter at lowest moisture =
time. Then elevated on block and left to air dry. In late spring they =
used it. But consideration was given to further movement of timber as it =
dried out more inside building. give and take.

Lumber cut One and One Quarter inch thick apox 12 wide dried to =
furniture grade level in same time. of Eight Percent.

I still think that someone should research more on Electro Osmosis in =
that extracts water out of concrete walls and probaley would do the same =
to lumber.

Temporal fence post of PINE which would normally rot in one season , was =
discovered to last as fence post for several season just by debarking =
the post and rolling them over fire pit dug out in the earth.THe resin =
comes  out of the pine and then drys. as protective coating. I would not =
put this indoors unless you want to become a "Human Caught in Amber" =
preserved for future generations. ha

Rotting of wood is misunderstood by some. If dry it last for allmost for =
ever. IF put into lake it can last almost the same time. But it is the =
drying and then wetting that works to destory the cells. and turn it =
into dust again.
