John;
 If I am not mistaken Falconwood is normally almost saturated with whatever 
it is that is used to form such a dense laminated plank.  As such Falconwood 
'may' not be the best indicator of efficacy concerning various pin block 
"treatments" vis a vis more traditional type plank construction.
Just a thought.
