My recent haul..

[nosuchhounds]

I got a call regarding someone looking to offload a lot English Elm and Ash boards. I went and collected all this for £180. I was pleased until I started stickering it and noticed the woodworm! Is this just an expensive mistake? I need to monitor it for a while for the signs of dust from still active bugs.

Any recommendations on dealing with it?

Some boards are knackered but I'll take that hit and it'll keep the house warm!

Not looking very promising, it might all be keeping you warm, I bought an "Elm" table at an auction, blind, went to collect it after the sale ended, never seen so much worm in a piece of furniture, broke it up took it home and used it in the woodburner.

Spoiler

only paid £1.00 for it though

They do love Elm. Shame about your purchase, but you may salvage some planks.

saw your post on reddit, must be absolutely gutting. Maybe just be happy knowing the worms are being burned alive!
