Hey fellas,
Hopefully that title is descriptive enough, I'm not exactly sure how I would describe this board. So that's the first question, I suppose. What's going on here?

This is a piece of cherry that I got for free. Nothing particularly special but on my low budget everything is special. It was also cut down locally so that makes it a little cooler in my view. Either way, I don't want to waste it. I figure there's gotta be a way to creatively use this board. I know I could just plane it down past the rotted part or cut that part out but I'd like to try to use it somehow. It could make a very unique piece. My thought is to somehow remove the rotted wood that is not structurally sound (read: soft and spongy) then perhaps cut a piece of glass to fit, similar to Greg Klassen's work pictured below.

Has anyone tried anything like this? Any ideas on how I could go about removing the rotted wood? Burn it out? Wire wheel? Gouge?
Thanks,
Matt
