This is a small spalted Maple wood bowl which measures 4 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. The spalting on this is pretty wild. Once this was oiled, the depth in the coloration is amazing. This was wet sanded with mineral oil, then oiled with boiled linseed oil, then lightly hand rubbed waxed. The finish on this looks and feels like satin. Though this was heavily spalted, I managed to achieve very little tear-out of the wood fibers by turning at a very high speed and using a very light touch at the final stages before sanding. This one came out very well indeed . . . so I'm posting several photos.
