Eventually I may take some of the veneer off them but for now I have no space other than to put them in the loft. This is dry with a good draught but of course with heat cycles.
I'm thinking of woodworm of course although the cabinets that are in there have no sign of it. But would it be best to place them in say plastic bin liners?
thanks for advice Gary
The common furniture beetle is a tough little blighter, just bagging won't kill them or stop them infecting whatever is in the bag.
But if you dose them with insecticide first, especially any rough sawn wood, and then seal them in bags a bit tougher than bin liners you stand a chance. I include moth balls (Napthalene) but they are no longer available.
If the wood is infected you will see no signs or holes until they leave! Too late!
If you don't need the cabinets, could you pass them on to someone who could use them? Or find chassis and turn them into radios!
