Abstract
EXTREME porosity was found in sapwood lumber produced from logs of Pinus ponderosa and P. lambertiana which had been stored in a pond from one to several months. The extreme porosity resulted in substantial over-absorption of water-repellent preservative solutions which are normally applied to millwork, with consequent difficulties in painting and utilization.
