Got the air set on 100 psi (that is all my blower is rated for) and it helps
but so far lots of picking.

Yes, I agree with sealing I'm planning to stain with antique cherry then
seal with several cotes of poly.

If I had known about the worm damage I'd probably selected different boards

Since the damage is on the legs, I wouldn't woory so much about bacteria...

I would likely do pretty much what you're doing, a dental pick and an air
compressor.

OH OH OH ...... have WIFEY do it! It's for her.. right? *wink*
