Bugs in boxes

In Togo we got some wooden benches and boxes made for the dental team. Items that have been stored in a container. When we opened the container a few weeks ago we realized that the benches were more or less eaten away. The boxes had only minor damage but it is hard to know what is inside the wood... After soaking it in linseed oil, freezing the boxes for 48 hours and painting them with varnish, we hope to have killed all the box bugs :-) Dag
