Spalted Maple - Woodworking Talk

Thought you guys might enjoy looking on the inside of the Hollow Log I posted.
Thanks for all the great ideas, thats why I asked, I knew you would have them. The log is 24" in diameter and will be 14" from end to end once I make the final cut.
I actually got some pretty good chunks out of the inside I may use for knife handles.

Holy leapin' lizards - those are some phenomenal colors! I can't remember seeing purple in spalted stuff.

Actually These shots are from the inside of a hollowed out log I posted on in the thread "what should this be" take a look!

I am looking at many options that these fine people have given me for what I may do with this wood, yet to be determined!

Geez, I hope that when all is said and done, you post some photos of what you actually made with this stump. Great looking wood.

Holeeee cow! That's just amazing. But you don't need it. I do.

I'd think long and hard before I touched a blade to it.
