I agree with Bob, wait until they are dry before you plane them. I also agree with beekeeper - put 'em in the attic to dry. The attic is like an energy-free kiln. Mike

Looks like a stink bug to me. Leaf Footed Bug I'd think most pesticides should take care of it. Check with your county agent, they should have the cure. Mike

Thanks, Matt. I'm guessing the sculling oar must have a pretty big surface area. Thanks, Stickbow. That one is bookmarked. It looks like some interesting browsing. Mike
