Parquet with many small holes (woodworm) installed

however, over the past few weeks, upon closer inspection, we noticed,

But in the end it sounds like it is not that noticeable. I would be interested in an overview image instead of the macro shots.

... you don't throw away an entire oak just because it has wormholes in it.

Yes, you do. At least all the parts that are affected. In rare cases, you can fill the holes. As far as I know, that's a job for professionals. But selling the junk as first-class goods to the customer is really something, if you ask me.

Wormholes or Pinholes are not a quality defect

In specialized retail, this is usually also signed on the delivery note and only noticed upon unpacking.

Then it's best to have vinyl installed right away if the parquet ended up in the container. Natural products are natural products; you don't throw away an entire oak just because it has wormholes.

If those are even wormholes. Judging from the pictures, it was a precision woodworm, because for the exactly uniform, perfectly round holes, it must have eaten its way through the wood at a right angle to the later saw cut. Chapeau!

If they are wormholes at all. According to the pictures, it was a precision woodworm, because for the exactly uniform, perfectly round holes, it must have eaten its way through the wood at a right angle to the later saw cut. Chapeau!

What do you see there? I see exactly such holes, just like on our oak board, imported from Canada at some point, which serves as a table top. The cause of the holes has long since moved out. The oak board is unique and you can personally choose whether you want more knots or fewer. You pay less attention to the wormholes because other desired irregularities are more prominent. What exact product is it ? They are all somehow called “Joka Landhausdielen Eiche astig.” There are Deluxe and other qualities. I assume the holes and other irregularities are quality features of living wood?

You can find it in the sliding door thread. And after the photo there, everything looks really splendid! Real wood is something different from plastic, laminate, and the like. It once lived, and that's what you want when you choose real wood.
