Just for discussion's sake, I wonder if "worm holes" are really worm
holes. I would think that the Powder Post Beetle would be a more
likely candidate for the job. And, if so, I would want to make darn
sure they were all dead in any piece of wood I brought into my shop or
storage place.

I`ve just been given some wood and it bears the mark of woodworm. Do I turn
it and whatever is showing is the way it is or are people that fussy?

The reason I ask is that my wife was given a bowl as a present from a "pro"
woodturner. No bowl will leave my shop with tearout on show but what do ye
think ?
