As some of you may remember I have a stack of Red Oak drying in my garage from a tree that came down in my yard. It is down to ~ 14% MC according to the El Cheapo meter I bought.
I have started milling down some of the boards to see what I have (and to practice working with my new jointer and planer). I am seeing some insect damage on a lot of the boards. How much damage varies quite a bit depending on the board, but some of it looks pretty bad to me.
My question is, what would you do with these holes if you wanted to use the wood? Also, how much damage before you would consider it scrap?
