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?


Bruce,
I think I'd heat the wood in the microwave for a while. Keep the power
level low and the cook times long. Don't let the wood get too hot to
touch. Ain't no critter around that can survive in a microwave oven.
