Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Sure, just mix with colored expoxy ;)
I had one like that the more wood I removed the more worm tracks.

Ivermectin does a wonderful job of killing a host of parasites.  Trouble you have is that you already killed the host.  Now if the wood was still living, you might have had a chance. 
Kidding aside, that should turn out to be an interesting looking build.  Post your progress please.

I'll be patching all of those holes this week. The side plate side didn't show any holes at all when it was a blank.....

I don't think those are worm holes, they are cutter marks from when I inlet your barrel.  I forgot to tell you that I accidentally bumped the "on" switch and the cutter bounced all over the stock before I could shut it off.  ::)

They are long dead I believe. Why don't you drive down here and patch all those holes for me? I could go fishing while you do it! ;D

You really should practice your incise carving on some scrap wood ...
