5. Are the timbers to be incised prior to treatment?

Yes

6. The spec sheet states 8x8 rough full sawn, is the actual dimension you wish to achieve 8”, or are you looking for a dimensional finish of 7.5” to 7 5/8”?

8 “x 8’ dimensions

7. This is rough full sawn so the timber will have a band saw or circular saw marks in the finished product and not ran through the planner

Saw marks are fine.

8. The spec asks for incisor marks prior to treatment, is this correct?

Yes

9. The spec calls for 4’ bollards w/ chamfered top. To obtain a proper treatment all cutting needs to happen prior to treatment. Is this correct? A common practice is after treatment you can roll on touch up treatment, but this is a topical application and not the same as pressure treated application after all cuts are made in the pressure chamber at treatment facility. I.E., this is a custom ordered piece of lumber cut to spec then treated.

Yes, all the cuts need to be done before treatment.
