Question - how do explain "spalted" to customers? I have had several people tell me they don't want wood that has started to decay!

It's a stunning pen! I like spalted wood, fungus and bug holes and you turned them beautifully.

Outstanding pen. I would explain spalting a rare but natural occurring phenomenon.:wink:
