What is Ambrosia Maple?

That's a beautiful example (and a beautiful bowl/platter...or is that two?...either way!), Thomas.

Funny...with all the ambrosia maple I have around here, I don't recall ever seeing that bugger.

The Ambrosia Beetle is not a single bug, it describes a wide range of beetles, so it doesn't surprise me that you haven't seen the one David posted... they all have similar boring/nesting behavior, so they all tend to have the same affect on the trees.

Dan, did you stay in another Holiday Inn Express last night?

I think we should put little GPS collars on them so we know what tree is next on Mike's lot..
