That's probably a beter idea Ken. And, after our recent winds there will be
a lot more to chose from :)

Hello Tom,

It may be easier to walk through 2 year old logging slash with your saw
and sample the alders laying on the ground.
We certainly don't have a shortage of spalted alder.

I can't do much searching on this NG so I'll just ask the question..
I have a few pieces of freshly cut alder, 6/8" in diameter and about 18"
long and still in the round. I have anchorseal and a chail saw to split
the wood. I'd like to spalt the wood a bit. Any suggestions on how to
proceed?

Thanks, Tom
