Never had a problem with it and redwood keeps most of the pests and bugs out. I think that's due to all the tannin in the wood.
- dhosek 3y agoThe question is which redwood. I think the lumber redwood are the coastal redwoods and not the giant sequoias.
- indoordin0saur 3y agoYou are correct. The former are excellent quality timber, the latter are quite poor.
