Nice Rex. Must be some ambrosia I see in last pic especially, wow, looks loaded. I filled up my truck twice recently with some silver maple. Nice stuff to turn. I'd say you've got some beautiful wood there with what I see! Look forward to seeing something from this batch!

Rex, we will expect some great "show and tell" at future club meetings!! I have a pretty good stash of maple, but some of that darker Ambrosia is sweet looking wood - maybe we could work out a swap.

Love silver maple. So many variations in colour and grain and so easy to work with. Mahoney says it is one of his faves for functional bowls.

Have fun.

Great looking wood. I have turned a couple of spalted pieces. Great zone lines and fun to turn! Would love to have a truckload!
