"Salt treated"
Back when this product was introduced.....say,early 70's.... salt treated was a common name for it.
OK,this is too funny to not mention..... and don't get your pantys in a wad. We used to call it "Jim Baker" wood.... swear,pick up the phone,order several thousand $$$ worth of Jim Baker and the dispatch knew EXACTLY what we were referring to. "PTL" wood....
But,back to salt treated.
Tripping on back..... uhhh,colonial Va ring a bell? Just like a Ceasar salad,ain't.... if you aren't rubbing sardines into a wood bowl at first blush.... a "salt treated" table in colonial times was the side yard tables,this is the area between the smoke house and the main kitchen where salt cured hams were inspected. The salt,just like driftwood (we are a coastal state),would permeate these tables. I've seen them show up a hundred years later and are pert near as original.
