I have been lucky enough to score some Oak which has some spalting Pics below.
Just started sanding I am looking to finish with Danish Oil

Looking good there Wheelin' :2tsup:
I like working with oak , but I can only get platter thickness boards , offcuts from a mates furniture workshop , usually 40-50 mm .
Yours looks to be a good thick chunk , what are the dimensions ?

TY MJ its approx 150 dia x 100 high

I have another one to go

and some of cuts from the milling of the log which I will have to glue together I wasn't going to waste one bit if I can help it

A spalted oak bowl is a pretty bowl... nice timber, good work on the beads, too. :)

:D Sanding Danish Oil more sanding etc etc will let it rest a bit and then some more
to think that pile I got this from is going to be used as winter firewood:C

reckon I should buy a trailer load of scrap wood and do a swap

[Manuka Jock]

I reckon ya should too , any old firewood would do eh .
call it crime prevention :D

Good looking bit of wood! Especially after the modifications.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Hmm one thing...I'd smooth the outside into a nice sweeping curve, the lumps don't look too good...

Good effort though

What type of oak?
