Unless you buy all your blanks undoubted some will have something alive in the wood whether it's termites, beetles, or spalting fungus. I'm concerned about these things and I don't want them sprayed all over me or the shop while turning. I don't want to soak in DNA because that would get expensive pretty quickly. So I'm wondering about the effectiveness of soaking in soap/water. Also wondering about fumigating, maybe sealing them in a bucket with some bug spray or other poison but then I'm concerned about long term contamination of the wood. Basically looking for guidance here.
