Spalted Holly with worm

[Stubby]

Owner wanted 'anyone other than that dreadful Stubby bloke'. So she got 'anyone' other!

 

Fair enough

You'll need to leave it to rot for years to become as interesting as the one in this thread...4 or 5 years my guess otherwise its just p.l.a.i.n!

 

Couldn't agree more more and I'm in no way trying to compete with the OP's timber.

But some turners like plain: I hope to sell some to a locally well-placed barrister!

 

Apologies for the derail BB - blame Stubby

Blame accepted

Wouldn't worry about the worm you can treat it but it's a lovely piece of timber

my worry would be how far the spalting has rotted the wood

I would persevere with such a beautifull piece of timber

Can't be seen from any road, especially now!

 

As you're salivating so copiously at the location I'll PM you out of respect for the owner's sense of privacy and the fact she doesn't know I'm putting this on the 'net.
