    Default spalted beech hollow form

    hello folks
    This beech log had been spalting for about 2 years- i checked it 6 months ago and there was hardly any zonal lines and i thought it was not going to happen and it was destined to be firewood but I cut into it yesterday and discoverd some of the best spalting i've seen for a while.

    this form measures 7" wide by 6.5" tall with a 3/4" hollowing hole
