Stay safe and keep up the hard work you'll be sailing before you know it. Thanks for another great video.

    As far as fungus goes, if you dry it out before the fungus destroys the wood structure it should be OK structurally. Fungal spores are always present anyway. You just have to keep the wood dry to prevent it from growing. You can dent softwoods like fir with your fingernail. Doesn't mean it is rotten.
