February 19, 20251 yr @HandyDan, @Fred W. Hargis Jr Thank You! Dan, I saw the pictures of John's home and shop after the fires. Truly heartbreaking.

February 25, 20251 yr Popular Post This piece of box elder came from the top of the tree. I grabbed it to burn because it was only about 4" in diameter. I cut some to length and split it. That's when I noticed the spalting. I saved a couple of sections to turn. Here's a vase from that log. It's 6" x 3", finished with Myland's.
February 25, 20251 yr Popular Post Cherry bowl, 8" x 3.5". Finished with Tried and True Original. This piece was semi-green. It was a half-log that had been sitting out for about 2.5 years.
March 17, 20251 yr Popular Post I know a guy that owns a sawmill. He runs it with his two sons. They gave me a walnut slab 24” by 7’ by 2” thick. They also gave me two spalted curly maple boards 8” by 7’ by 4/4. I made each one a walnut bowl with a maple segmented ring from the wood they gave me. The bowl is around 9” in diameter. My wife wanted a chip and dip platter and I was able to make it from the walnut slab. The platter is around 21” in diameter.
March 17, 20251 yr Good on you, @RustyFN!! Those are both beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen curly maple that had spalting.
March 17, 20251 yr It looked like a lot more spalting after it was cut into segments and glued into a ring.
