• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Termites!

I am a member of a fishing forum, there was a post yesterday by a member who I guess is around 40 (not a callow youth).
He has a fishing rod that he says the cork handle has termite damage and how can he repair it.
Accompanying photo shows a few woodworm holes 🙄
Someone suggested mixing fine cork dust with glue and pushing it into the holes and letting it dry before sanding. Which I thought was good advice.
The OP then asked where he could buy cork dust from 🫣
Several replies later a wine cork was suggested.
Then he wanted to know which glue?
There were a number of replies and an argument broke out about the best glue to use, funny thing was several responders were arguing about different brands but all were actually talking about PVA and none of them seemed to know this.

I was tempted to have a little đź’©stir but resisted.
