any lumber, treated in direct contact with the earth will stay supple for a while. KDAT or Kiln Dried After Treating will reduce the moisture content by 75% and will be susceptable to cupping and excessive warping. the wood when removed from the treatment tank is literally dripping with water and the chemical. it is sold "wet." only way you could have done anything was to keep the wood in a controlled atmosphere which could be cost prohibitive for just one job.
