I just bought some lumber over the weekend from a rural supplier who had a medium-sized business running out of his farm. He gave me what I thought was a good deal on some red oak and walnut, and was very generous and personable. I got it home and started to mill some of the red oak up for a project, only to see that most of the boards I've cleaned up have holes from some sort of bugs. I didn't notice this in the rough cut wood when I bought it. Do I need to worry about this "contaminating" any of my other lumber? Here are a couple of pictures of the most extreme examples I found
