Hi,

I have a pair of beautiful built wood wings for an Airbike. However, they were never covered and they are likely 15 years old. The epoxy joints are hard and there are no indications of rot, etc. There are stains in a few places like they got wet.

How can I ensure that the wood and glue are structurally sound? Or should I take them to the beach for firewood?
