Last summer I had the good fortune of coming across a maple log that spring storms had taken (mostly) down. Maple is somewhat scarce here in central Oklahoma so I jumped at the chance for a free log. After finally getting it cut at the sawmill, it turns out that it is actually spalted maple... a real surprise. Now, the question I have is... what should I do with it? I have about 8 rough sawn 5/4 boards that are 12" wide and 7ft long. In my mind, spalted maple lends itself as being more of an accent wood rather than something one would use for an entire piece. I have been thinking about building a Krenov Cabinet with a walnut base and using the maple for the cabinet. Any other ideas or suggestions? Anything I should be aware of with this wood? I still have some time to ponder it, it is currently stacked and stickered air drying.
