Hello all,
I have recently started working on a coffee table out of a 40" (ranges from 38-42") round maple slab that is 4.5" thick. It is a gorgeous piece, however, it has an area of rot in it. It is still very green, it has not been drying for very long at all yet. I don't mind that it has rot, I like the character that it adds. What I would like to know is how to remove the rotten wood, preserve the healthy wood surrounding the rot, and prevent the rot from spreading.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
