I was driving toward work and saw in front of a house what looked like a couple of Maple burls cut up. Later that day I stopped and picked them up. Parts are pretty punky and soft but there is a fair bit of solid burl there also. There is alot of nice spalting and gorgeous figure. I cut alot of the worst rot away with the chainsaw and while there is more to go there are some soft parts that I would like to keep if possible. Does anybody have ideas on stabilizing this stuff while keeping the color of the wood? CA glue comes to mind but that would entail quite a bit. I don't want to be spending a hundred bucks on superglue. I was thinking some sort of epoxy. How the get it INTO the wood? Any insight would be great. Thanks.
