Barry - lots of new wood...all the wood, old & new, was treated with copper naphthenate. Instructions on can say:
An air drying, copper-base preservative for wood, fabric and rope. Will arrest the action of decay, rot, fungi, termites and other wood infesting insects. Can be applied by dip, brush or spray, and will give long lasting protection. It has excellent penetrative properties, a high resistance to leaching (water insoluble), is long-lasting, and only a mild odor."
