I recently acquired a piece of very old oak, and am making some
small boxes from it. The boxes are partially glued up. Until I
read something today, I had assumed that the worms that caused the
holes were long gone, but the article led me to believe maybe not.
I want to make sure the little buggers are either dead or gone
(or both).

Any suggestions?

Maybe throw the wood in the freezer overnight?

If that doesn't work, build a fire and toss in the wood. There's no
way any worms will live through the fire.
