Original block of wood metered 26% MC, and after roughing and anchorseal, it took a total of 8 months to stabilize. 5 1/8" x 3 5/8", 7.9 oz, sanded to 600gt, Danish Oil Natural, Beall 3-step buffed. My failure rate for spalted woods is the highest among those woods I use. I'm a sucker for photos of great looking specimens, but it's difficult to judge the amount of spalting from photos. Inspect the endgrain carefully....that's where you can see tearout from the saw, and make your judgement from there. This one turned out well, but I have plenty of spalted failures in the trashcan!
