When Mrs P and I walk the houndies down the lane everyday to a field, I'm subconsciously looking out for fallen woody things and ivy on trees. There are a couple of trees with some interesting ivy attached to them, but I would need to find out who the trees belongs to before removing the ivy - which will do the tree a favour as well.
Over the last few weeks, I've notice a few pieces of rotting wood on the embankment lane side which has probably been there for years. I've umm'd & arrrrr'd about it for a while and then a week or so ago, after dropping the houndies off at home, I walked back with a bag and picked up the rotting pieces of wood. I'm thinking candle holders or something ornamental.
My question is; does anyone know of a solution which can clean the wood and stabilize/harden it from further rotting?
I know some folk might be against picking up rotting wood as it probably homes insect life, but I don't think there's much life in these bits of wood anymore.
Much appreciated if anyone knows of something to treat these bits of old wood.
