Worm Holes

Very old furniture sometimes has worm holes. To achieve the effect of worm holes a nail is heated and then hammered into the wood. This causes a tiny darkened hole that mimics the pattern made by worms. This is usually done around knot holes in wood to look more natural. Our finish shop is careful to not make the worm holes look too obvious by making holes in strategic spots in the furniture.
