Woodturning - This Wood Was Eaten By Grubs!

I was looking for a log in my store for another project (that will be coming out early next week) when I came across this piece of oak that had been infested with Round headed borer beetle larvae. I thought the holes they had made would make an interesting pattern for a vase. The piece has been sanded to 7000 grit and finished off with Sanding sealer and wood wax.

Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
I didn't find any live beetles or larvae during the turning process so they must have gone a while back.

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.
