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.
