I was at a show on July 4th weekend, and a woman called my attention to=
one of my bowls on the shelves. She said "I saw the sawdust and didn't
think it should be there. I noticed a bug eating your bowl". Sure
enough, I think it was a powder post beetle ( something about the size
of a piece of pencil lead) was boring a hole into one of my big leaf
maple bowls. It was in the middle of a stack of bowls. It wasn't in the=
bowl to start (or any of my other bowls) and must have droppen in from
the surrounding trees. It was dispatched of promptly. Most unusual.
