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.
Beautiful wood and your simple design and clean workmanship shows it off nicely.
Great wood Deane. Spalted maple can be so pretty!
Spalted woods is one of my favorite woods to turn. You did a real nice job on these.
That's beautiful, Deane. What are the dimensions?
Those are beauties Deane as is the wood.
Nice work again Deane. The $8.50/board ft would figure to be about $2.13 each for 2 bowls 6" and $4.25 for the 12" thing - not bad price for blanks with that much character.
Man Deane that's some great looking wood, I think you made out really good. Nice job on the bowls.
Great wood and good shapes and finish.
