Wormhole in ebony?

[xtothx]

Hey everyone, new to the family here.

Straight to the question:
Is this what I think and that's wormhole in ebony fretboard?
Not something that would really bug me But not having so much experience with ebony fretboards I am wondering if this is something normal? Do you guys have ever seen it on your boards?




Perhaps it would be easy fix to wax the surrounding area and drop a tiny of CA glue mixed with ebony dust but not worth the hassle imo. I am more concerned if the enemy inside still lives and would eat some more of my precious Majesty

I have seen those in ebony fretboards before. Ebony is quite hard and somewhat toxic, so I really don't see how it could be a worm hole. Sometimes there are very tiny knots in the wood that fall out. A little C/A should make it invisible.

Not a wormhole, just wood I guess. It's a natural material and things like this can occur. Most fills with dust and glue come out a little darker than the dust would suggest which could be just as obvious. But as there is nothing to worry about, no structural weakness, no chance of it getting worse, I personally would just leave it as it is and call it a beauty mark.
