I this collected this small vine maple today. The area circled in red has some soft wood in it. At this point, are there any issues with me cleaning up this area with a dremel to remove the softened wood down to the good wood and then treating it to prevent further deterioration?
Edit - I used a bamboo skewer and removed softened wood about 3" in in a cone shape in the end circled in red. I blasted this with water and got it pretty clean, however now this will hold water... should I be creating a shari/opening up the bottom side so this will not hold water? The wood surrounding this has healthy bark and is hard.
Appreciate any input.
