Punky Maple : Worm hole pic

[Brian McInturff]

Just thought I'd show the size of the grub tunnel as the other pics didn't show them. There are 3 tunnels like this on the piece. Would you pic the crude out even though it's been soaked in wood hardner? I had to soak it as the crude was helping to hold the pieces together while I did the final turning. I can pic it out now though with a dremel. Just wanting to get a different opinion than my own. Thanks!

The few I have done I left it in as there were some spots that it " fell " out of, my last a mesquite " bowl" ( courtsey of Judy K ) I felt it looked very good.
