Hi Creekers, Happy easter,
I have some 100 year old redwood. That is since milled, not a young tree. My trouble is that although redwood is fairly pest resistant this is so old and dryed out that some boring insects have started to eat this wood. My wife and I would like to make a table from the wood. Can anyone tell me what I might treat the wood with to kill the existing pests? I thought of steaming the wood for some time but it would be time consuming and messy. Any suggestions for OTC remidies?
Thanks,
Bill Jepson
