No, that’s rot. I’m a woodworker who has reclaimed thousands of board feet of barnwood and also has lived in a house that had termites. That is rot.

Yea I bet the end was never painted or treated after being cut, and it’s sticking out all exposed.

  Its weird it is so hard to find the treatment in the hardware store. Last time I bought some, I had to drive to the home depot on the other side of town.

    Supply chains have been absolutely fucked by Republicans policy. Like it might not be the paint that’s hard to come by, but the metal to make the cans or something.
