Terrific, then WOW spalted maple

[low_48]

I was cutting some spalted maple tonight. I cut into a section that was an overgrown piece where a branch had broken off, then the tree repaired itself. I cut into this section and was really happy.

Then I cut them in the other direction, and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about the eyebrows on that guy? Thanks for letting me share this glorious moment!!

That is too cool, Rich. I need to walk behind you when you go tree hunting.

Excellent find! Those are going to make some nice pens.

Those will indeed make nice pens! Makes me wish maple grew in the prairies...other than in people's yards and in city parks!

I'd like to see which parts of the blank is used. Could you give us a step by step with photos of the final pen.

Using the top vs. using the bottom will yield very different results. I really enjoy seeing the artistry and peoples use of the wood patterns.

How about it?

Thanks in advance.
