Pretty cedar spalting

[Carole Valentine]

Found this inside a slab I was using for practice that I pulled from the burn pile. I was not aware that cedar would spalt like this! Learn something new every day.:D

Wow, that's beautiful Carole. I didn't think cedar would spalt either, but I guess it makes sinse in that part. I was just given a 12"x40' cedar that I need to go cut down. Maybe I'll cut a chunk and let it lie.

Wow! Is that pretty! Is it aromatic?

Great bowl and beautiful wood! Does this mean you took that turning class?

Thanks, David. Yes I took the class but we did not turn any natural edge stuff...that is a whole new experience! LOL Wood...no wood...wood...no wood...:eek:

[Michael Pfau]

Outstanding piece, you should be proud.

[Carole Valentine]

Yes it is aromatic, John. From a cedar that I had to cut in my back yard.

[Chuck Connell]

Beautiful bowl, Carole. I just got some wood to try one of those. Hope mine turns out half that good.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Carole, that is really beautiful!! I didn't know cedar spalted either. Great work!

[Jim Becker]

Nifty...I've never seen a softwood spalted, either. Very nice!

[Jerry Clark]

Great looking bowl Carole. Love the color and form!:)
