Happy new year all! I'm building a farm style kitchen table with stained solid oak top and painted pine aprons and legs. Lowes has a few different styles of treated 4x4x48 rail posts and I would like to use them for the legs. However, when I started looking online to see if I had to do anything special to paint them, I found sites advising scrubbing them then letting them dry anywhere from a few weeks to a few months before painting. Has anyone used treated stuff for an application like this and is that really necessary? I'm going for a weathered/primitive finish on the painted part so it doesn't have to be perfect, but I also don't want paint falling off it with use.
