Hello -
I am writing to ask for treatment advice for some larger wooden
artifacts.
I am currently doing support work for the National Park of American Samoa
and it has come to my attention that three larger wooden artifacts in the
collection that show signs of wood-boring beetle damage. The objects are
two bas-relief carvings and a kava bowl. The carvings measure 80-90 cm
long, 40 cm wide and 6-10 cm thick. They are carved from teak. The kava
bowl measures about 16 cm tall with a diameter of 43 cm. The type of
wood is unknown.
Is freezing a viable option or do we risk cracks or splits in the
artifacts? If we need to look at fumigation or anoxia for treatment, are
there any service providers in Honolulu (where the artifacts are
currently
stored) that anyone has experience with?
Thanks very much for your help.
