    Or, one could simply treat

    Or, one could simply treat it with the borax/boric acid treatment already recommended for logs. Both a bug and mold repellent and a fire retardant.

    (I bet the commercial stuff is probably just a pricey version of the LHBA recipe)

    I have never seen or heard

    I have never seen or heard of a poplar shingle roof, only used as siding shingles. The ones you get commercially will be kiln dried, not sure if they are treated or not.

    The HGTV dream home a few years ago (Lake Lure, NC) had some.
