Hey all,
Scored a nice batch of mixed lumber on CL this morning. In the pile were 4 pieces of maple that was labeled Sphalted Maple. I know what is is but never used any. It is 4/4 rough and when I looked at it I saw nice figure, but it looked like any other rough maple to me. Do you usually have to plane it to see the sphalted pattern or perhaps it is very lightly sphalted? Eventually I will plane some when I get a chance, but my curiosity is aroused. I had to store it at my /father in Laws so I can't plane it for a while.
thanks, ron
