tinkerfive Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Having taken a salt water bath treatment, would that make the wood any more rot / insect resistant? Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecanoe Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Since we are building a house I was drooling when I saw all that wood floating!! I'd use it for a shed, or a barn, or a chicken coop or................ I just couldn't believe that they had to sign paperwork to document what they were taking! Craziness. I'm not sure about the salt. I'm sure that some of it would have gotten into the wood but if properly dried I'm not sure what the result would be. Salt preserves but can be caustic too.

Bob58 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm thinking of the salt-dried stocks in the Belgian-made Brownings. Any common fastener such as nails or screws would be subject to corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiris Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I just couldn't believe that they had to sign paperwork to document what they were taking! Craziness. They could possibly be used for clubs or something sinister so they had to register their wood. You know the paranoid British government.

littlecanoe Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I love the emphasis put on not doing anything with the wood for a year in case the company that lost the wood reclaimed it! That's just funny. I hope that we don't follow our British brothers laws too closely! We have enough crazy on this side of the Atlantic.
