[Cob] logs from land

[Marlin]

Locust in our region doesn't require treatment as it's naturally rot resistant and is cleared all the time for prairie restoration.... 

I've used 'roundwood' successfully of other woods (than locust, cedar etc.) without any sign of rot if it's protected from ground contact and weather which it would be for roof beams and loft supports

Okay, so if there are logs on your land that you intend on using for lofts / roof support, what treatment must be done to them? 

I read about slow kiln drying (to kill all bugs and dry it out from rotting) - how do I do that? Is it expensive to have the saw mill do it?
