Got the air set on 100 psi (that is all my blower is rated for) and it helps
but so far lots of picking.

Yes, I agree with sealing I'm planning to stain with antique cherry then
seal with several cotes of poly.

If I had known about the worm damage I'd probably selected different boards
but really different realize it was so extensive until after I assembled and
started the prep work.

I agree on the air compressor,

Are the worm holes big enough for pipe cleaners?
see: http://kwikcrafts.com/crafts/categor...-Cleaners.html they have
different size cleaners, you might be able to find them locally.

However the worms have eaten it worse than I knew before sawing and
planing it. I think it will add character if I can ever get all the
'worm dirt' removed. Not sure what finish. I tried colonial maple, light
oak, and fruit wood but none really do it.

Any suggestions on worm dirt removal? I've been using an old dental pick
and pocket knife.
