Down South, the bugs get into the tree very quickly after the tree expires.  They leave little holes about the size of a pencil lead.  Most times the sapwood will be punky, and the heartwood will have the bug holes and still be sound.   Those bug holes give the wood character ;D.

WDH I agree, and if I had some dried and was going to build cabinets for myself, thats what I would use.  I have a small item that I made from wormy maple about 20 years ago that is very neat.  Any where the little worm went he left a little black streak--I think it may be worm poo. ;D
