Spalted Beech Logs

Description

I had two nice logs that I cut up the other day.

They are reasonably dry but need cutting down to a more manageable size for stabilising. As soon as they are dry enough (2%) moisture then I will stabilise a batch myself.

The medium section should yield 6 blocks of 150 x 25 x 40mm

The larger section should yield 12 blocks of 150 x 25 x 40mm

Spalted beech wood blocks are an excellent choice for knife making and small wood projects. Spalting is a natural process that occurs when fungi begin to break down the wood fibres, creating unique patterns and colours that are highly prised by woodworkers.
Beech wood is known for its durability, strength, and fine grain texture, making it an ideal material for a variety of woodworking applications. When spalted, the wood takes on a striking appearance, with black lines and streaks contrasting beautifully with the lighter wood tones.

Not only do spalted beech wood blocks offer exceptional aesthetic appeal, but they also provide excellent durability and stability after stabilisation compared to other spalted wood species. This makes them a practical and long-lasting choice for any knife making project.
Overall, spalted beech wood blocks are an excellent choice for knifemakers looking for a beautiful and versatile material that will add a unique touch to their projects.
