This slab has amazing burl patterns and some areas of figure! There are numerous checks and incursions present. As well as soft spalting and solid spalting. There is a large split present on the opposite end of the numbers. Must be able to work with! This material is approximately 30% less dense than regular Maple. The spalting is solid enough to machine, but for best results, please stabilize the spalted areas with CA glue or epoxy. Kiln dried and surfaced on two sides.
