Your suggestion is interesting as I was told the bleach and water solution would take care of pests in the wood, and then sealing with the polyurethane would further help in this same manner. I will keep your suggestion in mind for our next project with reclaimed wood.Susan Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542655513432026448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484437384342141835.post-49077687802517696082014-10-05T05:49:03.602-07:002014-10-05T05:49:03.602-07:00Nice.

The boards need to be treated with a safe insecticide/fungicide before bringing into your home. Powder post beetles, termites, carpenter ants, etc are very common in wood that was outdoors, especially from old barns, which were not treated back in the day. A boric acid product like Bora-Care should be applied first to prevent bringing structure damaging pests into your home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
