can someone explain to me what the difference is between spalted maple that looks fantastic and veneer quality spalted maple?
The wood guy told me the 100 bf of spalted maple I bought was from a veneer house and he showed me why they couldnt use it, so why does that make it veneer quality?(some of the spalting seemed to have slight cracks? splits, he said they wouldnt use it)
But Im thinking if I can Id like to cut 1/4 inch slices, maybe get 3 out of a slice, and use it for panels, and stretch it out instead of planing down the boards and only getting one panel out of each section.
