What woodworm do i have (had)

[joshvegas]

These holes are tiny! Thats a scalpel blade for scale. Its long gone i think but i am curious.

What flavour of woodworm are we talking because thats smaller than i have ever seen?

How do you know they are gone ? Have you microwaved it ?

The holes do look tiny.

Common furniture beetle exit holes are generally 2 - 3 mm in diameter. Those look about the right size, so that's a possibility.

As Sideways says, seeing exit holes indicating adults have left doesn't mean there aren't more grubs from later egg laying activity burrowing away inside. Slainte.

These are less than half a mm.

It all got boraxed when i broke up the dresser. That was + ten years ago so the cycle should be well broken.

Being that small I can't hazard a decent guess. Powder post beetle grub exit holes are usually about 1.5 mm diameter, so even that's a rather unlikely candidate. Sorry I can't help. Slainte.
