Another log from the same load the “interesting” mulberry came from in my last entry…I thought this looked interesting as well.
This white oak had laid in a back yard of an abandoned farm house and was forgotten about by people for a couple years…mother nature didn’t forget about it, she went to work spalting it. And did a nice job I might add.

While they are all cool, the first photo is my fav. It got me thinking, the spalting seems to affect certain growth rings a lot more than others. I wonder what the variation is caused by.

It would make a really cool table top..cut it like a Pizza, then make a starburst in the center with some Spalted birch with the splines coming out to the edge to enlarge the total surface.
just a thought. :-)
