Very new to working with wood. have managed to get hold of a slab of spalted beech, however it has not been kiln dried and I am worried that the fungus will eventually consume it. How do I treat it before using for coffee table? will oiling/waxing stop the fungus growth?
suggestions are very much needed and welcome.
Cheers everyone
ps: finding slabs in the north of england is not an easy feat!
not to be nosy… but how bout a pic just for fun. I love spalted wood. And 2nds on what has been said. It needs to be pretty most to keep the fungus growing.
Cheers guys for all your comments. Will now crack on with coffee table and hopefully post some pics soon!
