Oh Yeah!! They will make you either chase a few more rings than intended or cut your staves up for firewood.
Ya know I'm a gonna try plaining (sp) it down tomorrow..and see what I see.. I wanted to go with just thewood under the bark and use the bamboo baking on another board and show both ..but will see..
Shawn... :banghead:
I know the feeling, the wood wasp here seem to drink the spray I use yearly.
I use a spray called 'Hi-Yield 38 Plus' and have real good luck with it. I first started using it to control the ant and tick population around our house and it does an excellent job of that. It will also kill a nest of wasps just like the spray cans.

Good luck. Is that Hickory? Try chasing the rings! It can be a pain but it is alos a great lesson in control. I have fought with those things too so I feel your pain.

Pete, yes it is hickory. It is a hickory board now.. and it will make a fine boo backed bow for someone...
Shawn... :cool:
You can stop this before it happens.After your staves are cut and split.Go to lowes buy some pestside and spray really well.Put away spray again in 6 months.After that I spray each spring.Your bug problem will stop and your ring chaseing will go way down.
