Worms, with the exception of the south american variety [about the size of
your finger and which I ma told the natives like to eat alive] for the most
part do not like Mahogany . As a matter of fact the discovery of Mahogany by
the west almost eliminated the use of walnut for that very reason, it's
resistance to woodworm infestations .

I have seen mahogany veneered pine absolutely riddled with wood worm on pine
side with just a few holes showing in the veneered side .

The only remaining questions is - does African Mahogany have the
same kind of wormholes in it that I read about for the real stuff?
FWW's recent article on Finishing Mahogany showed worm holes just like
the ones in my suspect wood.

What wormholes are these? Mahogany should not have any.
