Junky Walnut Boards

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I'm wanting to sell these 80-year-old boards locally. I might say they would make an antique-looking farm table. BUT ... look at the photos. They are "wormy."
I'm sure it is NOT powderpost beetles, as there was no brown frass when I moved the pile. And we live in northern Illinois where it gets below zero in winter.
My question is: Might these be useful boards, or would any self-respecting woodworker run away from them as fast as possible?
Did the photos load? they dont show in the preview.

I have a pile of 80-year-old walnutboards. Also shown is a closeup of the wormy surface. I'm hoping to sell these locally, saying they might be good for making an antique-looking farm table. I'mfairly sure the cause is NOT powder post beetles, as there was no brown frass when I picked up the pile. These boards have been in my shed forever in northern Illinois where it gets below zero in winter. Wouldn't that temp kill whatever it is?
My question is, might these be sellable, or would any knowledgeable woodworker run awayas fast as possible?
