To post to this list send it as an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. ----------------------------------------------------------- I would say, its a old damage at the timber before kiln dried, because its very dark, no dust and bigger tunnels, than the usual drywood-borers (anobium, lyctus). And not the oldhouseborer. ...Just observe it.
