I have a piece of maple with very heavy spalting. It is rather soft in
spots. Is there a way to stabilize the wood to make it more durable.
Thanks.

I have only used spalted maple once, so I don't qualify as a expert, but I
applied BLO and applied BLO and applied BLO ad infinitum; it drank it up
like a sponge. Came out great and quite stable.
