Wood and insects. WTF is this?
#8
About a year ago a bought a haul of rough sawn lumber from a guy who was moving out of state. Couple of large slabs of orange Osage, some nice walnut and 3 big pieces of live edge beetle kill pine. The beetle kill looked like it was taken care of, put them on my drying rack and forgot about them. Couple of weeks ago I went to grab the walnut for a project and realized the beetles were still active. Huge piles of saw dust from the pine. Took a chisel to the live edge of the pine and they came pouring out. Had to deal with those bastards asap. Wiped acetone all over the outer edges, then wrapped them in a couple of large trash bags, threw an acetone soaked rag in there and duct taped them up for a couple of days. Seems to have done the trick.

How much acetone can you get your hands on? Good luck bud.
