[Woodworkers] Dirty Wood

[Clint Warren]

I have a large (6 or 8”) grinder I inherited and never use, but was thinking..  if you have something like that you could put a relatively coarse paper or flap wheel (?) on it and quickly run over the boards removing surface debris.

Hopefully made that clearer than it reads.

The stack of red oak I bought awhile back has a large number of boards that are dirty from a sandy soil.. I've brushed, vacuumed and blew off with compressed air.. A time consuming task..What's the group thoughts getting the boards clean?  I've considered pressure washing..Dont know what that would do to moisture content.. 13.6% now.. Or.. Bushing & Vacuuming.. THEN..using my old planer blades, run them through. I believe this may remove the crud and I can always resurface with the new blades when I use them.. Hairbrained idea???
I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
