Worms, with the exception of the south american variety [about the size of your finger and which I ma told the natives like to eat alive] for the most part do not like Mahogany . As a matter of fact the discovery of Mahogany by the west almost eliminated the use of walnut for that very reason, it's resistance to woodworm infestations .
I have seen mahogany veneered pine absolutely riddled with wood worm on pine side with just a few holes showing in the veneered side .

FWW focuses on woodworking, not on woods When it comes to wood I am not taking their word for it. PvR
Mine and theirs are about 1/4 inch across and occur (to my eyes) singly without any pattern. I have a 1x12x60 board with four holes.
It was an article by Jeff Jewitt, "Finishing Mahogany" in the August 2003 issue. There is a sidebar entitled "Filling the inevitable worm holes." A quote: "In most extrawide mahogany boards, you'll often find large worm holes near the edge." I like the natural look so I don't fill them. Jeff uses - gasp

Well now, you have steered the ID of this wood back to the South American (S. macrophylla) kind. If it were African, I hear you saying it would not be likely to have worm holes.
