it be nice to have a place to turn when answers don't come so easily?

The American Wood-Preservers' Association (AWPA) is a nonprofit organization
which is responsible for promulgating voluntary wood preservation standards.
AWPA Standards are developed by its technical committees in an open, consensus-based
process that involves individuals from all facets of wood preservation: Producers
of preservatives and preservative components; producers of treated and untreated
wood products; end users of treated wood; engineers, architects and building
code officials; government entities, academia, and other groups with a general
interest in wood preservation. AWPA's Standards are universally specified for
wood preservation in the USA, and are recognized worldwide.

Boron compounds offer some of the most effective and versatile wood
preservative systems available today. They combine the properties
of broad-spectrum efficacy and low acute mammalian toxicity. Oxides
of boron, the active ingredients in boron systems, are ubiquitous
within the environment, are essential plant micronutrients and are
added regularly to agricultural land as fertilizers.

There's no reason a wood structure can't last virtually forever - or, at least
hundreds of years, far longer than we may actually need the building. With
a good understanding of how to protect wood from decay and fire, we can expect
today's wood buildings to be around for as long as we wish.
