Went to the mill today. Got worms.... - Woodworking Talk

Hauled my log to the mill. He is down with a bad starter.

Tomorrow maybe??

Picked up some "scrap", the guy didn't want is after it
was milled. So he is selling it, $.50 for a 6' piece. I got
four, may get some more tomorrow when I pick my
stuff up. He has forty or so of these.

How many worm holes are too many worm holes??

These will be clocks...

That looks like the perfect amount of holes for a nice project to me. I would just make sure the bugs are gone before it goes into the shop. Beautiful wood.

By the way, is that elm or what?

Yellow pine.

I'd make good and sure that the residents are gone before using that wood! Fumigate it or get it in a kiln to treat it.

The wood was milled about a year ago and has been
out in the weather since. It was black. I pressure washed
it and all the black came right off, or most did any
way. I blew out the holes as much as I could, it is
cool here, in the forty's and I did not want to spend
a lot of time getting wet...

I think the critters are long gone...
