Default Tanalised wood--how deep does the preservative penetrate?

Nope. I've sawn tanalised timber, and the color is at best a mm or so
deep.


I recently bought a tanalised (well it was green anyway) newel post from
Wicks - presumably made for decking. I only wanted a small part of it -
but was the cheapest way of getting wood that size. And on cutting it was
surprised just how far in the green went. It was closer to an inch than
mm. Of course the colour got lighter towards the middle.
