Small Spalted Maple Platter - 7 1/2" Wide By 3/4" retailer High

The natural decaying fungus working through the wood left interesting colors behind. You can see the contrast between the spalted area and the chatoyance of the fiddleback grain. (Chatoyance is an optical phenomena in which a band of reflected light moves just beneath the surface of the wood.)


You can see a retailer short video of me turning a bowl on YouTube, alanturningwood.
