We show that Weyl wormholes supported by mass-less K-essence can be generated by a pair of axisymmetric harmonic functions. We study properties of space-times generated by harmonic functions describing the exterior potential of a thin conducting disk held at fixed potential. We find that within this family, only a particular subfamily generates wormholes and the resulting wormholes are necessarily spherical. In general, the topology of the space-times generated by an arbitrary pair is multi sheeted.
