If they are anything other than Redwood or Cedar, don't bother.

If they are just framing 2x4 they are probably spruce, hem-fir, or pine. I wouldn't put any of those species exposed to weather, especially not in a horizontal fashion. Factoring the labor of ripping the wood and sealing it, and resealing it yearly, results in a false economy even if the wood is free.

Now if it's cedar... you're golden.
