I attempted to spalt this chunk of pecan but after peaking inside the bag at 3 months and 6 months I detected nothing but large cracks so I gave up. 3 years later cleaning up my storage area I hauled out the pecan and was about to split it up for firewood when low and behold it had spalted! I...
...........Not Apple, of course, lol.
Walnut, 8x8 inches
Could not bring myself to do any more embellishment than this.
I thought "Simple, plain, good wood" and let it be.
Navet Noir (Black Turnip), 4.5”d x 3.5”h.
I started this piece earlier this year for demos. Each “section” showed a different stage of the embellishment process. Friday morning I decided to finish it up to bring to a show that was opening that evening. I’m glad I did because it sold in the...
I turned this footed vessel from a piece of nicely spalted beech. It is 8.5" tall and 5.5" in diameter. I used a wood burner to create the texture on the banding. I like how the burned texture in the banding accentuates the spalting.

This was out of a hunk of somewhat punky maple burl, that developed a nice spalting. A bit soft, but it came out. Finished with shellac sealer, then several hand applied coats of Resisthane. About 6" in diameter and 5" high
I turned this originally about a month ago. Let it dry and just hated it. So, I put it back on the lathe with a glue block and completely reshaped it. I mistakenly picked up some Walnut Danish oil, so I used it here. Polished with Beall system. Green Curly Maple.
