More spalted wood ( Beech this time !)
« on: January 17, 2015, 07:14:03 PM »
Just a few examples of the glory of spalted wood  ( well I like it anyway !)  2 very different examples of the what can be found .  I particularly like spalted wood as it is neither soaking wet or dry / dusty to turn and cuts well with blunt tools  LOL!  The 2nd vessel with a flat top shows a strong deliniation between rotting and sound wood and was turned to highlight this , was not easy to hollow though !  Terry ...

I think the angle of the photo, foreshortens the effect of the vase. It looks like it is shorter/squatter than it really is making the ratio of the height to the width seem a little off, which I am quite sure it's not.

However, that is one beautiful piece of wood and you've made something special out of it.

These are two very nice spalted pieces but the flat top win's it for me.
