Oh, good idea about the paint. I currently have the logs sitting up on rocks, but will work on preserving them. It sounds like I cant just throw turpentine on them, but isnt turpentine similar to the creosol they use on the telephone poles? The creosol also looks like "roofing tar" to me. IS it similar? It seems to preserve the telephone poles fairly well.
