   Most times terribly dry wood is similar to (dry rot) and caused by drying the wood to quickly or it is extremely old and been stored in conditions that caused some stucture changes in the wood. Punky wood is the natural condition of wet rot after the wood is dry like Jim said a stabilizer has to be added to keep the cells of the wood bound together.
