Greetings all,
I have a curiosity question. A few months ago I turned a pen from a piece of Bradford Pear that was growing in our yard. There are worm tracks that I don't think were there when I made the pen. I remember because I also turned a blank from the wood that had visible worm holes and tracks that I filled with a contrasting Timer Mate wood filler before turning. I didn't like how they looked when I was done, so I never pressed it into a kit. Also, these look deep and I certainly don't recall ever filling deep worm tracks with CA before turning anything.
Could it be that there were active worms or insects that made the tunnels after the pen was finished? It is hard to tell, but it does almost look like there is some foreign material in at least the long track. I wish I had a microscope. Anyhow, your thoughts???
Regards,
Dave
