are you sure it's Oak? It may be wormy Chestnut, which has similiar grain
pattern of oak. Not that this helps with the critters, just a
thought. --dave

I recently acquired a piece of very old oak, and am making some small boxes
from it. The boxes are partially glued up. Until I read something today,
I
had assumed that the worms that caused the holes were long gone, but the
article led me to believe maybe not. I want to make sure the little
buggers
are either dead or gone (or both).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
