Many woodworkers overlook the importance of understanding the different preservation chemicals available to us. For example, using borate-based treatments can significantly enhance the longevity of your softwoods by protecting against both fungi and insects. I’m curious if others have experimented with various treatments and what results you’ve seen?
I’ve used borate treatments before, and they really do help against pests. Have you tried them on any specific projects yet?

I’ve found that treating softwoods with copper-based preservatives can really extend their life, especially when exposed to moisture… Just make sure to follow safety guidelines, as some can be more toxic. Have you considered how different environments impact wood preservation choice?
Great point about borate treatments! I used them on a shed last year, and the results were impressive. Have you noticed any specific wood types that react better to these treatments? @s_theresa98.
