I am considering using reclaimed barnwood for an upcoming project, the end result of which is going to be installed in a museum environment. As museums go, this is not a very strict environmental control, but they are certainly concerened about the introduction of pests and or chemicals to their collection.
I am wondering about the process of kiln drying to eradicate pests from wood and where I can get information on how this is done. I have access to a large kiln but no idea what I'd be up against. I need to be able to prove with some confidence that the wood I am using is pretty clean. Thanks for any advice.
