Spalted wood

Spalted wood refers to timber that has been naturally patterned by fungi, resulting in unique and intricate colorations and streaks within the grain. This distinctive appearance makes spalted wood highly sought after for woodworking, furniture, and decorative projects. The spalting process typically occurs when wood begins to decay, but careful drying and finishing preserve the striking patterns while maintaining the wood’s structural integrity. Ideal for artists and craftsmen looking to add a touch of natural artistry, spalted wood offers an organic blend of beauty and texture.
