Today I’m working on a Monk that’s full of holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re wormholes from wood beetles and there’s a LOT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I counted over 200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Been snowy here in Ohio so I poured me a “Brandon sized” Old Fashioned, put on some music out in the shop, and worked on this piece for a few hours today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a pic of the piece with all the previous filler removed from the holes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Monk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a pic of the piece getting ready to have all the holes injected with wood hardener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stabilizes the piece and kills any remaining wood beetle eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Monk_Nutcracker\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is really a great piece and is going to look fantastic once it’s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
