tks Darren.
I´ve got a lot of frames (something around 10) that I´ve recovered from the street!!! They´re some 120 to 140 years old, in perfect condition, some 5 by 5 inches, 3 meters long!! Wood is what we call locally Incienso since it´s got a very pleasant smell. Species are: Myrocarpus frondosus and Myroxylon peruiferum, undistinguishable when already cut from the tree. Nice dark red wood, hard and light.

But, unfortunately sometimes you have to.
If such is the case, does anyone know how to remove any broken and rusted nail (no head) wich is just below the surface of the wood. The only way I managed to is to drill one or two holes very close and paralel to the nail and then force it upwards withsome adhoc pins. But this procedure seriously damages the wood… wich you´re trying to recover.
I´ll be gratefull for any sugestions.
Best regards from Argentina.
