This piece of box elder was really punky. Rather than try to sand out all of the tearout, I just left it. One of my relatives will appreciate it. :-)

 Turning box elder as end grain creates fantastic patterns!

I was pretty disappointed in the punkiness. I have some better end grain pieces, I think. I cut most of it up into bowl blanks.

Love that  Cherry crotch Kent.  Beautiful bowl.

Beautiful work!!

Yesterday I set out to make a guitar pick bowl. When I started forming the outside, I realized I didn't want to turn away all this spalting. So I opted for a candy dish of sorts. Spalted sugarberry (aka southern hackberry), finished with Myland's. It's about 5" x 2.5".

 

Fantastic!!!!

Love it! Awesome finish on the spalting. 

Just finished a bakers dozen so only going to show a few at a time.

 

 

 

This one is spalted Sweet Gum. You know the poor man’s Walnut. It was so far gone I really felt good getting it done. Finish 100% Tung Oil. 
 

 

This one is Willow Oak from my son’s place. Also tung oil. 
 

 

This Walnut did not finish as well with Tung oil as Watco danish but it is what it is.

Look really great to me @Gerald! I really like those closed bowl design.

Nice Gerald.  You're turning some very nice looking wood too.

True to the forum you all generate some beautiful work!

Time to add a few more to the list. 

 

This is Spalted Pecan I came across in my collection. Tung oil 100% finish. 
 

 

This Sweet Gum turns out to be aged just right for great Spalted patterns. Lacquer finish. 
 

 

This is Bradford Pear . It had rot lines as I have no found spalting in BP. I dyed with Chestnut Stains to blend those lines. Finished with lacquer.

Really like the sweet gum!

Those are beauties Gerald.  You're on a roll.

That is some gorgeous spalting!

Here are two 2023 Christmas gifts for my Domestic Goddess. The walnut platter and candle holder were my first attempts at both types of items. Fun day in Ye Olde Wood Shoppe!
