End diffusion preservation method

• The wood is cut to desired size and shape
• The ends of the wood pieces are dipped or brushed with a preservative solution
• The treated wood is then stacked and covered to allow the preservative to diffuse from the treated ends into the rest of the wood which can take several weeks depending on the type of wood and preservatives.
• After the diffusion process is complete, the wood is allowed to dry either naturally or in a kiln.
• The wood is inspected to ensure the preservative has penetrated adequately and that the wood  is ready for use.
