Salvage and Restore?

I have been asked to help with some equipment that was sitting in some moisture (a sewage break).  Upon first inspection the blackened wood seemed quite suspect, however after an initial cleaning with a mild bleach solution it looks like this might not be so bad.

The wood seems structurally sound although the product could not be sold by the owner without repair.  So weavers, if you can put your looms into rubber feet (as the countermarch looms and LeClerc looms usually are) it will prevent moisture traveling up the wood.  With some further tlc and elbow grease I may be able to restore the lower portions of the wood.
