Stoney and Tassie,
I hear what your saying,, the creosote of latter years was impregnated under pressure, and I wonder how much would remain to upset the take up of stain etc.
Whereas, in very early years it was merely painted or at best, old fashioned soaked, in which case the termites still attack as they get older.
I have about 30 of em, and most have been eaten out by the little buggers.
Stoney, when you say "ironwood" do you mean iron bark ?
Or is "ironwood" another species that I haven't noticed ?
If you mean iron bark,,,,,, I have plenty of that on our property.
It is pretty dull and drab with no real life or color in the grain.
Although the hardness and weight would lend itself well.
There is some differences between the narrow leaf and the broad leaf varieties of it however.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
