Live Edge Spalted Hard Maple Lumber

Spalting is simply a fungal discoloration of wood and can be found on a wide range of wood species and genera. It is found in wood that has begun initial stages of decay, and is then subsequently dried to prevent further decay. The partial decay, called spalting, can give the wood dark contrasting lines and streaks where fungus has begun to attack the wood. If the wood has been rescued from the spalting at the right time, the lumber should still be sound and usable, with little to no soft spots or rotten wood. 

Maple is a common lumber seen with spalting, as the light colored sapwood provides good contrast for the spalting. Some other temperate species where spalting is commonly seen include Sycamore, Hackberry, Beech, Birch and Hickory, as well as tropical species such as Tamarind and Mango.

Our live edge Spalted Hard Maple boards range from 60" to 96" long.  Occasionally, we do get longer pieces, and our widest pieces almost always sell first.  Widths are random, and you can see how, as they get wider, the cost per board foot does increase.

All our live edge lumber comes surfaced on top and bottom, and the boards are finished to 15/16" thick, perfect for charcuterie boards, serving trays, and much more.

As with all our lumber, we sell Spalted Hard Maple by the board foot.  So, the prices below are the per-board-foot price.  We will pick the slab(s) that best matches the number of board feet you order, or you can come to our shop and pick out the slab(s) you want, and we will go from there.
