So I had sadness happen. I have not been able to do much wood working hobby wise because of having to repair house issue. I did however have to cut some trees last year and i was like Yeah!!! lathe wood. Sadly termites (I believe) got to the wood. It was under a over hang and they must have gotten to it over the winter. So my question may be a bit silly bit how do any of you protect your wood from such things? Here in the south we have all types of wood happy insects. I do not know what other places have but here they can be quite savage. I lost a whole pile of Cedar, Holly and Apple (apple was given to me when in fell). thanks for your replies in advance! I didnt really want to use harsh chemicals on it since i would be working with it but I have now qualms doing it if it will save the wood i am seasoning and does not affect the work later. I have new wood to save so do not want the same thing happening again.
P.s.
It did not rot and dried nicely but was full of holes.
