A major local lumber yard in my area actually has resorted to watering
their pressure treated lumber to prevent it from drying out and twisting
on their dime. When it's cut water sprays off the saw blade.

Been cutting a lot of PT wood in the shop the last few months and you're
right, some is so wet that you have to have a towel handy when cutting it.

Often the past year or so an entire pallet of HD tubafours is dripping wet
'peel cores' from the plywood mills ... this stuff does not readily accept
the treatment and warps like crazy after it dries to around 30% ... an
entirely useless product, sold at a premium price to those who don't care,
or know the difference.


IIRC Stallmans sells Kiln Dried PT lumber.
