Bobke,

So far I have only seen Timbersil - I have not used it.  After carefully examining it I still could not believe it was treated wood.  The wood looked quite natural.  It was available in number 1 and 2 grades.  It was not wet and was of excellent quality.  Since I am going to the NAHB show in Orlando in February, I plan to follow up on Timbersil.  I e-mailed them an enquiry about where to purchase Timbersil but have not heard back from them.

TimberSIL has been pretty dormant until 2 months ago.  Our new distribution partner nationwide is AIFP in Oregon, who has been setting up distributors on both coasts already.  Plant is moving to 24/7 operations and adding additional capacity to keep up with those sales.

TimberSIL can be painted and/or stained, but must be sanded well first.  Must use paint/sealer with good bonding characteristics, because the wood is no longer porous.  It has texture, but like wood that has already been sealed... with glass.

Correction:  TimberSIL instead of TiberSIL.  My bad typing.

TimberSIL costs less than Composites but more than traditional Treated lumber. Also, Timbersil is Class-A fire rated as well and has a 40 year warranty (industry leading). Look for TimberSIL on Designing Spaces around Labor day. There are dealers set up in Penn., N.J., Vt., Sc., Me., Va., Nc., Il.
