I checked on my spalting pile today. I've had some sugar and red maple spalting for a little over a year. This is what I found when I cut the end off of one of the sugar maples. I think it's ready.

Wow. That's beautiful. Did you do anything special to get the spalting started?

No, I just rolled them over in the woods where they are in the shade about 90% of the day.

Beautiful. I will definitely have to check a few of the trees that fell on my property in the last year or so.

John,
Pretty stuff, for sure.
Is the wood upright or flat? Elevated? Covered? Waxed?
Thanks!!!

They are flat on the ground. I didn't do anything to the logs. I just let the good Lord work his magic.:) The log in this picture is about 28" diameter and 9 ft. long.

Looks pretty good, but you may need to cut around those fungused looking areas :p

Beautiful! Enjoy working with that stuff. I have loved using spalted maple in the past. Have a stock of it in my shop right now.
