[Donny Lawson]

I spalt alot of my own wood but there was a post not too long ago about putting pieces in a trash bag and spalting it that way. I need a certian piece for a small bowl and would like to spalt it quickly. Who does it this way and how long does it take? I usually put mine in the woods and let nature do it slowly. I would like to have this piece ready to turn in a few weeks. What's the process?
Thanks, Donny

Donny,

Do a Google Search for Russ's Corner at WoodCentral. Under Russ's Corner, there is his recipe. The recently late Russ Fairfield said it takes 2 months.
