They treat cedar down dere?
I think it was treated, my dad still has a lot of boards left (especially the 1x1s from the railing ..uhm.. spokes I guess) and each board has that little tag stapled to the end with the info on it... I thought they only did that to treated lumber, but what I know of lumber is very limited. I was 15 at the time I built it with him, and was mainly the "Josh, watch me do this pain in the butt task once, and go do it 80 times for me, k?" type guy. I learned a lot, but I wasn't in on a lot of the details like that.
