billytheghillie Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just acquired some scaffolding boards and plan is to sand them down, stain them and use them for rustic shelving. On closer inspection i have found woodworm holes, but the wood seems solid enough, not crumbly flakey way. Will i need to treat them with something? If so what? The boards were stored in a dry enviroment. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bothered about the look of it, just if the little beggars are still in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I would NOT introduce wood worm into my home .they can be dormant for quite some time in my experience .they are most active in sumer when its warm . Pretty sure old scaffold board shelves would look a bit carp in my opinion . I'd look for a better option . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
