Title: Spalted or not Spalted
Post by: Jake St. John on January 07, 2017, 11:37:14 AM
Cutting the last of my sycamore log. (Getting too old to Do this).  If you had a choice,  would you prefer a call from Spalted or not Spalted Snakebelly Sycamore? Also ran into a nail in this 150 year old tree. mr. E

Cool wood John!  I really like the patterns in sycamore.  And I think the unique patterns in the spalting makes each piece a stand alone work. My vote....I like it!  *up*

I like spalted everything.  The sycamore you use is always of the best careful selection.

As long as it's quarter sawn,  I don't care.  Love the snake belly in Sycamore.

The wonderful character and flecking of 1/4 sawn Sycamore combined with the spalting....how can ya beat that.  Looking forward to seeing you in Nashville John.
