Hello all - this is my first time venturing into the wood forum so I'd like to apologise in advance if I'm asking a really stupid question , but I was hoping for some advice.
We recently had to have a large elm cut down from our garden as unfortunately it had succumbed to dutch elm disease. I'd like to use some of the wood for displaying jewellery, but thought I should find out if I need to do anything to it first. I'm wary of bringing some nasty parasite or bug into the house with it that would go on to destroy my furniture. Am I being daft? Should I treat it or coat it with anything, or can I just let it dry out and go ahead and use it?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
