We used to store our used cedar posts up off the ground on a couple of railroad ties. Then we would stack alternate layers going the opposite direction.
My Dad always soaked his wood fenceposts in a barrel of used crankcase oil. The barrel was inside our machine shed, so it didn't collect moisture. We would fill the barrel with as many posts as would fit and then fill the barrel with the junk oil. Sometimes the posts would soak in the oil for months. When we were working with new posts, we soaked both ends.
When those posts were removed from the oil, they were kind of messy to handle. But some of those posts that we treated that way are still in service 40 years later, and if I pull them out of the ground, the part that has been buried still looks real good. It also seemed to be a good way to use the junk oil productively.
I seldom use wood posts any more, other than an occasional railroad tie. Steel T posts are just so much less work to deal with, especially in my rocky ground. Good luck!
