This week in urban logging #2: Spalting logs, it's just a matter of time.

« Part 1: Storm damaged tree milling (picture heavy)

Part 2 of This week in urban logging series

I think I timed these about right (just shy of 2 years), spalted maple, fresh sawn this morning. In the “group shot” of the 4 bookmatched live edge sets you cannot see the detail, so I took a couple close ups. Really any place on the boards would have made an interesting close up. With a finish that spalt should really be wild looking. 16”-18” wide sawn 5/4”

Must be a crap shoot to get the timing just right. Thank you for sharing. -- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.
