<p class="MsoNormal">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??? <o:p></o:p></p>
