Yes; but it dulls their teeth and they can't eat as fast.. grin
Honestly, I have seen termites splitting wood on ocassion: but never when
I've taken it out of the wood pile years later. The area where wood is
stored has a 4 inch gravel base for drainage with a 2x4 pallet-like frame on
top of it where the firewood is stacked.. I'm no expert on this.. but
haven't noticed a problem either.. I did years ago when the wood was
allowed to stay wet from winter rains..

Really? You must be joking.. The wood dries for at least two years far
away from the house.. covered in the winter.. and if they're still
dancing in the wood at that point, they only get a couple hours in the
house before the final cook off..

Termites don't eat dry wood?


Maybe you know something I don't.. Ok, don't tell me..

Just finished this.. so thought I'd share. Hard rock maple and walnut.
Original is taller and wider. Rescaled it in AutoCAD so that it didn't
overpower woodstove..

Neat piece.

Just curious.

How do you handle the portential termite problem in firewood?
