But in general there are 2 kinds of wood borers, those that like the fresh (Cambium) and those that like the 'dead' hartwood. The fresh ones are going to generally die as the bark comes off and they don't have the moisture they need to survive, (and nothing in the shop should sustain them) and the others generally need to be killed with a hard freeze or kiln drying. (and often get cut up during turning), neither have a great chance of spreading. Though I'm sure there are a few little bugs that might. | |
| Aug 25, 2023 at 6:01 | comment | added | Graphus | I'm going to go ahead and upvote this, partly because nobody else has bothered to! (Our perennial problem with people forgetting to/neglecting to vote.) But I do have reservations; in addition to the things in my Comment above, bringing in un-dried wood to a communal shop runs a high risk of introducing wood-borers to the space, since they naturally occur in the wild and often begin their life cycle in the bark before burrowing into the sapwood. Irrespective of this, IF they did allow it under limited circumstances I would suggest they simply turn off dust extraction and forbid the dust vac. | |
