@wndopdlr what's saving you is keeping the wood indoors. Just be aware if there are any little holes and you see sawdust, the wood is infested with powder post beetles and needs to be kiln dried. A bowl blank can be put in the oven to kill the critters.
What I know is spalted wood by definition had to be laying around a while to develop, and it can't be kiln dried. Therefore, bugs can be an issue especially if the wood is stored outside. I don't know how spalting can occur indoors b/c the wood is going to dry out. I've heard of people keeping the lumber imbedded in wet shavings. I'm only saying that due to my experience with PPB infestations, emergence coming over 3 years later in finished furniture. Certainly if any holes are seen in spalted (or any) lumber, you need to be prepared to kiln dry it.
One of the stiles in this door was spalted and I used it anyway. Later I found out it was not kiln dried you see the result. That was my fault there was a kiln on the premises and I made an incorrect assumption. Why the heck I used that board, I don't know. As you can see, I ended up removing the entire stile. The area routed out was a test to see if I could patch it.
None of this may even apply to what you're doing. I'm just saying spalted = wet wood and exposure risks beetle infestations.
Several years ago I had a maple tree taken down after a storm. I set a very large section of log under an oak tree and let nature take it's course. A couple years later when we sawed it, it was definitely spalted, and there were also grubs, huge tracts and several other insects in there. I couldn't believe how fast it rotted!!
