Ash wood on bobcat mount spitting out powder

Powder post Beatles. Get rid of the wood. You can't fix it.

Ash is notorious for this.

This!

[Sabine]

Can't really tell, but is that what they refer to as red ash?

Have you looked for bugs in the Ash holes?

Oh no---he said Ash holes.

I have always used Arm & Hammer Baking Soda on a Red Ash, it makes creamy brown gravy! Plus it cures the Red Ash!

If you can find where they are boring at you can put some bacon on a string and catch them that way

Finally, sumthin that can distract us from numerous bad bobcat mounts. Ash Holes! I was a little bummed when I saw your mount was good!

Bug is called a powder post beetle, heat is only way short of gas fumigation. Easiest new wood, trash the old.

[TKK]

I'm thinking it is some kind of bug causing this.

THIS had same issue with some of my heads - you have bugs

That's for crawdads in the crick!

When redsnapper's ash holes spits out fine powder dust every spring and fall is a bad sign, especially if it's red ash.

Since we're talking about Ash and Boring Insects, there's a lot of forecasts that suggest we will be dealing with a epidemic from The Emerald Ash Borer in the very near future. It has completely decimated the Ash population in the midwest and East coast. It's a topic that's been very high at each Arborist conference I've been to over the last several years.
