I had these cut about a week ago.
They are recent blow downs and are red oak. Is this from ambrosia beetles ? .......
If so, do you think the sawyer planted them to make sure I come back and pay for some kiln time ?
😂😂😂
The ambrosia beetles will leave as the wood dries. They feed on fungus that they vector into the wood. The fungus feeds on sugars in the wood.
They are not a problem other than the little exit holes.
Thank you.
