Hello all,
Does anyone know if Crabapple (Georgia) is a worthwhile wood to work with? I am not sure of the exact species. So far I can not recall any comments in various forums, magazines, etc regarding working with this type of wood.
A rather large Crabapple tree fell in my daughters front yard. The stump was a solid two feet in diameter, so I figured I cut it up along with some of the larger branches, wax the endgrain and let it dry. It was cut up earlier today and some of the figures are rather unique and most stunning. Some of the crotch areas have lots of dense mini flames, other pieces have outrageous medulary ray flecs, and of course there are a good handful of pieces that are spalted.
Any help from all of you pros would be most appreciated!
Thanks for your help.
