    spalted maple HF

    Here is a small maple HF I just finished. You have to love Maple. It is around 5"dia by 4" high. I use my home made hook tool to return under the lip of the bowl. The opening was only 3/4" green. I had to turn it out to 1" when returning to make it round again. Jack

    Spalted Oak Horses

    Cut this out of a roughly 3/8" piece of spalted oak. It measures about 6" high and 14" long. The feet were cut of a piece of scrap from the same piece of wood.

    Here's the product of todays fun. This is some more of the wood that I got the other week at NC Wood. It's about 5½" in dia. and about 3" tall, the walls are about ¼" I am not 100% happy with it because I got a fair bit of tear-out on the end-grain areas due to the punkiness of the wood. I tried...

    Spalted Wood Question

    I know there must be someone that can give me a technical but straight forward answer to this question. Is it safe to use spalted wood for items that are used in food preparation and storage? Like for bowls, spatulas, spoons, chop sticks etc.. Thanks, Paula

    Spalted oak frame - what's the best finish?

    I'm building some picture frames out of spalted white oak, and need some advice regarding how best to finish them. I am not well versed in this area; my initial thought is to use some type of very light colored stain and an oil finish, but this is just a guess. Advice is most welcome...

    Sweetgum or spalted Maple?????

    ...or maybe Sweetgum? Gum has that swirled vanilla/chocolate look (which looks like spalting but isn't).

    Spalted Red Oak available - cad

    I have a scanner in my den; I don’t listen to it for entertainment or even on a regular basis. It sits next to my wife's chair and she normally is monitoring it every evening. It distracts me when I try to listen to the TV. I can’t disseminate two streams of audio to my brain for some reason. I...
