Anyone have experience successfully painting or staining wood that isn't cured? A friend and I are each going to build a pole barn and our lumber source is logging timber, and having it milled. We have no access to a kiln and won't wait for it to cure.

We are building his first and the siding is fresh milled 1x6 white oak installed vertically and the "seams" will get battens installed over them. I have no experience painting green wood and wondered what would work best and last the longest. Whatever works, semi-transparent or opaque stain or paint or xxx. I have an airless spray rig but we can roll it if that has an advantage.

TIA for advice,

Pat
