Usually oak and must have been dead at least 60 years, 10 years from laying eggs to pupating, damp wood, etc.

Simplest explanation is usually the best, ash bark borer, is pretty common on ash I've had too. No chance of that damaging the house.

 

Thanks Dan, I have the exact same thoughts. Yeah house is modern and the only piece of oak I have is the mantle piece! 🤣 I'm fairly relaxed about it now given the evidence.

 

However a note to oneself for the future, do not stack logs in your garage especially if it's attached to your house.
