The wood sales guy from Brazos hardwoods (A.K.A. Baillie outside of TX) brought by a little 4/4 x 6" x 24" board of kiln dried spalted maple. They had brought in some for someone's custom cabinets. They were asking $8.50 a bd.ft. I made 3 small bowl things out of the sample piece. Nothing special about the turning but the wood was really nice. I have photos of 2 of the pieces.

Spalted woods is one of my favorite woods to turn. You did a real nice job on these.

Those are beauties Deane as is the wood.

Nice work again Deane. The $8.50/board ft would figure to be about $2.13 each for 2 bowls 6" and $4.25 for the 12" thing - not bad price for blanks with that much character.

Man Deane that's some great looking wood, I think you made out really good. Nice job on the bowls.
