Last August had a lot of fun slabbing oak into lumber. It has been a year now and I am looking at bringing it into my basement to further season. I noticed that there are small worm holes on the edges of some of the boards but not really on the board faces. This leads me to several questions that I hope forum can help answer.
1. If I bring these boards into the basement, can the bugs migrate to my house framing?
2. Is there a chemical to spray to kill bugs/larve that might be in the boards.
3. Since I have not noticed holes on the face of the boards could just be where insects bored into the tree at the edges.
4. Do I now have a big pile of fire wood?:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:
See pics below:
hard to see but you can make out the dark dots which are small holes.
