I have a number of Ash boards that I purchased a while back. When I went to
use one, there seems to be worms in the wood. There are small holes on the
edges and trails across the faces of the boards. How can I get rid of these
worms?

Thanks

If your boards are small enough, or once they are rough cut for a
project, you can bake them in the oven at 200 degrees for 2 hrs per
inch thickness. Keep a close eye on them and make sure there are no
small pieces that could catch fire.



For a 2 inch thick board would that be four hours? Double the time, not the
temperature.

Thanks
