Spalted Maple 20" tall
The wood for this piece was from the skid of a shipping crate; the crate held a piece of medical equipment that came from Germany. At some point the skid must have gotten quite wet, because the spalting ran through the entire piece. The spalting looks nice, but it makes the wood a little more challenging to carve; in a couple of places the wood was a little "punky" and I had to soak it with Superglue to harden it.
