I have a bunch of spectacular figure spalted maple that has a lot of soft places. Photo below.
I roughed the outside of a bowl and had tear out on about half. The parts that are more or less solid were nice and smooth. I want to stabilize the outside, then hollow, let dry and finish.
The blank is still damp so I don't think casting resin would work. Maybe 2/3 white glue to 1/3 water painted on until it won't take any more, let dry, wrap with tape, hollow, paint inside, let dry a couple months, then finish turning.
Any thoughts?
