Spalted Maple

Spalted Maple Cup Sept 2014

Three views of a small cup of spalted maple. Really unstable wood; ready to fly apart at the slightest misstep. I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time I was working on it. With the knot hole in it, and a couple of worm holes, this is another in a long line of “holey grails.”

A little scrap that I didn’t want to go to waste; more of a practice piece than anything else. With its uneven oblong shape and natural edge, definitely a knuckle-buster.

Cherry 11″ plate. Wood from the crotch of a giant tree; the grain has been compressed, fractured, and tortured into crazy shimmery patterns. Someone said, “It looks like a crumpled piece of paper.” Gotta love God’s creativity.
