Been out for walks in the park over the road.
The kids collecting some big sticks and I was happy for them to bring them home knowing I had a tray of spokeshaves in the car. They had a lovely time shaving the bark off and making 'walking sticks'
I attacked a funny shaped one that had carving / shaping potential and as I removed the bark some familiar shaped holes and tunnels appeared with little pale fleshy things in them.
I am assuming woodworm. The sticks are now in a concrete alley at the side of the house and I will dispose of them in the morning.
Is that the only thing it can be? I have swept up all the shavings but they were working outside anyway and I think mine was the only one with any holes.
