Post tis in the timber forum. John G and those guys could give you good advice. Looks like lyctus / powder post borers to me. Sap wood is a no no, just inviting problems.

Definitely borer. To determin what type, rub the dust between finger and thumb, if course and gritty Anobium. If smooth like talc powder Lyctus. Boron is the usual treatment.
