[Woodworkers] Dirty Wood

[Dave Heitstuman]

I would think a course push broom and then a good vacuum.  The only question is can you still buy a course broom?  My dad had a couple that I now have, lay the boards on the ground and give a good brooming then vacuum off the loose stuff.    Something like this maybe??

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.
