Turned from some spalted maple I have. It's semi-punky and prone to tearout. Had a miserable time making a bowl from it, even though it had nice spalt lines. Much easier time of it in end grain HF orientation.
Even though I've a good surface finish it didn't buff up to the shine I prefer. Finished with Watco Danish oil. I may coat it in something else to bring the shine up.
