Paul,

There are very few insects that will feed on dry wood. Even termites prefer some moisture. The two most likely candidates are "old house borer" and "powder post beetle". Both will feed in completely dry wood. The concern is that they can also feed on structural members of your house. Contact your agricultural extension service for more information and treatment options.
