I took a trunk of cherry that was cut down from the local bank . Not
very
thick...about 8". When I turned my wife a small dish to put her rings in
when she does "raw meat" and etc., it had this awsome spalt to it. It
had
just been cut down and I hadn't noticed any signs of distress before.
(go
to bank weekly}. I think this was a healthy tree cut down for improvment
.
Any reason for so much spalting?
Spalting is a growth of several fungi in the wood after it is dead.
It takes som dampness and warmth to develop.
