Re: Wood Worm / Wet Rot (Table)?
I would say it's almost certainly not woodworm. They leave a mass of clearly defined tunnels through the interior of the wood with small holes in the surface where the larvae emerge. I've never seen them cause damage like that.
Is that a depression in the surface. It's not easy to be sure from the pictures.

Looks like someone says they like toast when really they don't and it's suffered the same fate as used chewing gum

It almost looks like acid damage. There seems to be a trace of bubbling around the scar.
