This week in urban logging #8: Mother nature works for me some times

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. :-)
