A bit different kind of wood work. 1926 TT

So the mission is to put some real strength back in these old boards. The termites had a feast but this is a historic grain box from Iowa and the repairs can't show. Should be a fun challenge!!

A worthy project for sure, by a guy who has shown he is up to the task.

Good luck, and am looking forward to more pix.

Thanks for the kind words Scott. The bugger of this is the holes. Normally I could heat the wood and saturate it with WEST Epoxy. The termite holes have thrown a kink into that method. The epoxy would run out the holes and make a real visible mess. So, I'm trying to figure it out and it might take a "hole" different way of thinking.. :)

Looks like powder post beetles got hold of it. That epoxy is great stuff.
