Spalted Oak Block SO-439 2.1" x 1" x 12" 1 lbs. This is an end grain block of heavily spalted white oak. The spalting is strong, with plenty of black line spalting. The wood is still fairly dense and has good integrity; you probably will not need to stabilize during turning. This block has significant wane along one edge, as shown in the photos. There are a few bug tunnel entrances, which might appear as vugs in a finished turning. There are also several cracks that you may wish to use CA glue on while turning. |
