Hi all
I just got a big 6" thick Red Oak slab for a roubo workbench. It had been air drying for over a year at the mill. After dusting it off I noticed a couple holes (roughly 1/2" across) that ran about a half inch below the surface of the slab. I'm assuming these are insect holes? I don't mind filling them, but what I want to know is could the insects still be in there boring away? If so, what's the treatment? Thanks.
