I cut a block of Beeswing Narra this weekend... Saturday... It was nicely waxed and when I put a moisture meter to the wood it clocked in at 7-8%. Cool. I turned a nice pen from one of the blanks and it looked great and still does.
I set the rest of the blanks on some Figured Asian Satinwood blanks (dry) and forgot about them. The basement is cool with a dehumdifier running. Today I went down there for a diffrent reason and look what I found.
In a few days the blanks are covered with white mold or fungus!! It is wispy and will almost peel off.
The ends are full of it too
The sections where there is wax show no mold.
The mother block with Anchorseeal applied to the section cut.
The Satinwood blanks on top of which the Narra blanks were sitting... no problems with them.
What the heck is going on here? I have never had mold or fungus on any of my wood. I have over 700 board feet down in this basement. And nothing like this has ever happened.
