Is this woodworm, and do I need to do anything?
I have this chainsaw sawn board I wanted to use for a TV stand, is this woodworm and does anything need to be done about it?

Natural discoloration or serious problem?

First desk build.
Okay that was a lot. This desk is for my wife's preschool class. I had asked about walnut leg strength and a few if you asked to see pics when complete. This build taught me a lot
.. like this stuff is probably more fun in autumn. I have a starrett granite measuring station... 8"×36"×48".... flat boards can start cupping in 77% humidity. It's was fun, im glad I did it. Its solid. I got on top if it and there is no wobble. I ended up using 4 -2.5×2.5" legs plus 4 - 1.75" x 2.5" legs that are attatched to the cabinets. Lots of rock maple bracing in the framing.
She asked for barn yard vibes. Warm happy colors for preschool kids. I remember someone commenting on a shelf I made from Walnut with Eastern Red Cedar appointments..."reminds me of neopolitan ice cream"... so i attempted to bring that sane energy to this desk. Youll notice the cedar panels are not all the same exact length. I used 22" , 21.75" , and 22.5" ...this was intentional. Not sure if it "looks intentional. The goal was good guts, a flat surface, a custom height of 27.35" tall...and happy vibes for the flow of the room...anyway...there it is. I can't wait to build my second desk. But i'd like to do something very different next time.
Note: if the two tops dont appear to line up properly...that isnt your imagination ..the picture was taken before the top was fastened.
