    Came across this and it caught my eye because we have a yard here that processes poles. We also grow these straight pine trees! Someone in comments said this film was probably pre-2004, as now the treating fluid is less toxic but also less effective.

    I always find it interesting how things are made. Amazing automation. But think of how many laborers these machines displaced, lol. Actually, the entire forestry industry has gone through one heckuva transition during my lifetime. We used to have people with chainsaws on the ground. Before that it was the axe and crosscut, lol. Won't be any jobs in 50 years, everybody except firewood hoarders will just sit around, complain and get fatter, lol. Well, I won't as I'll be gone by then. Carry on.
