Wow, that is a great haul, and an amazing deal! It’s my turn for an amazing deal. I’ve never bought wood by the pound before.

Just a reminder for everyone – when working with spalted maple, you need to be very careful about the dust, which can cause a terrible respiratory infection if inhaled. Use the best dust collection method you have, and wear a dust mask or (preferrably) respirator.
