Junky Walnut Boards - petertay15 - 11-04-2023
I'm wanting to sell these 80-year-old boards locally. I might say they would make an antique-looking farm table. BUT ... look at the photos. They are "wormy."
I'm sure it is NOT powderpost beetles, as there was no brown frass when I moved the pile. And we live in northern Illinois where it gets below zero in winter.
My question is: Might these be useful boards, or would any self-respecting woodworker run away from them as fast as possible?
Did the photos load? they dont show in the preview.

Photos did not load. Try saving them as JPG or PNG files first and then import them here.

Somebody will want walnut unless its just completely cleaned out by powderpost. They are in old barns all over the upper midwest, so you cannot rule them out based on temperatures.
