Subject: [MUSEUM-L] How to preserve wooden wheel recovered from salt
water?

Hello All:

I serve on the local Historical Commission, and one of our members was
recently researching an old cartway and two bridges that led from a
local brickworks, across a salt marsh, to the glass factory which was
previously located in our town. During this work she recovered an old
cart/wagon wheel from the saltwater creek near one of the bridge sites.
She currently has the wheel in a tub of salt water at her home. She has
asked my advice on how to preserve it and I have no clue. Any advice on
what to do with this find would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Jennifer Madden
