Re: Spalting

I think it can occur in almost any wood. Check out the latest issue of Fine Woodworking as they have an article on doing your own spalting with vermiculite in it.

Re: Spalting

Wonder what happened to our nonresident, member Kaysa. . . she was doing PhD research on spalting in Michigan. Here's a link to her Intro.
