I love the look of that maple! Nice job.

I love the look of that maple! Nice job.

Fun fact. Maple ambrosia isn't a species. It's just regular maple that has been infested by ambrosia beetles. They bore into the wood, bringing a fungus into the tree, which then discolors the wood.

I think the wood is pretty.

Kinda like quilted maple, curly birch, buckeye burl aren't species, just effects in the wood. I didn't realize the ambrosia maple was from a beetle, though. I had a suspicion given the little holes, but never looked into it. Good to know!

Very nice. Would it happen to be for sale?

I think you have that lathe turning skill fully developed. Good Job

I thought about that. I don't know if I want to sell it. And I wouldn't even know what price to put on it if I wanted to sell it. You don't find a lot of these.

Eh. I don't know about that. But thanks for the compliment!
