Powderpost Beetles with Gary Mead

Every Third Wednesday of the Month we speak with Gary Mead of Gary Mead Gallery in Margaretville NY. Gary has a long career of milling trees in these Catskill Mountains and working with wood to create unique pieces of furniture and art.

This week we will be discussing powderpost beetles. Gary has recently come across this little bugger quite a bit. Apparently, these beetles can wreak havoc on finished wood products. We'll cover how to identify powderpost beetles, their biology, and some ways to discourage them from ruining your prized woody possessions.
