Tom,

Boring wood until it spalts. I've made a number of spalted bowls with
great success. The wood spalts then rots fast. The difference between
good spalt and rot is about 2 weeks.

Well, maybe not that fast, but pretty fast. Stay on top of the process
or you will lose the wood.

What do they call spalted gum? Pyorrhea?
