Hi there.
I'de like to make a project with spalted maple but I can't find any place here where they sell it as such, and sorting through the whole pile of boards to find one is out of question even tiping the lumber store guy.
I've read somewhere that spalting is created by the fungus that invade the wood as part of the decay process, and I thought that maybe burying a board in the garden for some months could make it develop some spalting as I've read again sowhere else that has been done with some results.
Has anybody tried that? or has anybody more information that could help?
Thanks in advance.
