Report S SteveAltman · Registered Joined Sep 2, 2012 · 5 Posts Sep 12, 2012 Beautifully done. Did you have to prepare the spalted maple in some way in order for it to work well? Sometimes it's very soft and crumbly.

Report bomisore · Registered Joined Jun 27, 2010 · 75 Posts Sep 12, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. The finish is sanding sealer and Renaissance wax. To deal with tearout I soaked the roughed out piece in a mix (3:1) of water and yellow glue. I still have to shear scrap and sand but it was less.
