Got home a couple of hours ago and thought it would be nice to check out the workshop and unpack a few parcels that came while I was away, oh joy more nice goodies to play with.
Last time I was home I made a table for my drill press, then made the fence, I couldn't attach the fence becasue I was waiting for the "T" bar things.
To my shock and horror I noticed that the fence had a few holes in it that looked like wood worm, they didn't appear to be fresh, but I've been away for a month. I went through the shelve that the wood came from and found one or two other bits showing small signs. Not good I thought because the other shelves below this one has about 6 cubes of maple.
To be on the safe side I cleaned the shelf off that I took the wood from for the fence and its now ready for the dump.
Did a quick check of the roof joists and couldn't see any evidence of worm and a cursury look at the maple and all seems well.
Question is how mobile are these little criters?
I've never had any problems in the past with worm and all my wood has come from British hardwoods, except the last time home I got a small piece from another supplier because I ran out. Methinks it might have been that piece that had the worm.
Advice on what I should do, should I spray all the maple with treatment or do you think the distance of about 5 feet would have been enough to stop the criters getting to it?
Also would it be wise at this stage to spray all the joists as well?
