I always wondered why people treat the timbers at all. In my quest to find a job to learn TF'ing I noticed quite a few companies say the treat their timbers.
Is that a sales thing or do you really need that?
I mean the house I just finished restoring that we live in is a circa:1680. I seriously doubt anyone treated these timbers and they're still here hard as a rock 326 years later. Heck...the bark is still on some of the floor joists!
