[Woodworkers] Dirty Wood

Depending on how much dirt is on the boards, I think Dave's idea of a stiff broom is what I would probably try first.
If that doesn't take care of the problem then, I would try a flapper sander or 60 grit paper either on a belt sander or orbital sander.
Either way make sure to mask up.
Good luck

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??    https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-6424/Brooms-and-Brushes/Street-Broom?pricode=WB0019&gadtype=pla&id=H-6424&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI08-Klqfs9gIV1Rx9Ch1zmQeAEAQYASABEgIKa_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds       From: Woodworkers [mailto:woodworkers-bounces at lists.sawdusters.org]On Behalf Of Ron Odum via Woodworkers

Subject: [Woodworkers] Dirty Wood    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. _______________________________________________
