I was fortunate to get some Spalted Maple from a fellow NCWW'r by way of my dad(JCRAIG). This stuff is beautiful. My wife has always wanted to have a natural edge table so I am building one out of some of this spalted maple. This piece is by no means the prettiest of the wood that I got but is going to be very nice either way.. I started with this since I had to cut it off anyway in the milling process. I will be using more of this maple for another project. I need to go get some epoxy and fill that big crack on the one side of it.. I wish I had some nice walnut to go with it but for the time being I am going to use some pine that I have for the base and paint it or stain it very dark so that the top is the focal point.
Now the fun part. I need to have it done by Saturday so this means plenty of shop time for the next several days.
Here are a couple of pics of the top as is.......
