11" x 2" spalted Beech dish

I was given this piece of Spalted Beech because it had some quite large splits on it but 1/2" tube of CA and some saw dust and coal dust this is what I got out of it well worth the extra effort well it was to me

I would almost be a shame to eat my morning porridge out of something so beautiful.

Coal dust and resin, I've seen figures and things made from it of course but never thought of it as an aid for woodturning. And it does blend in with the spalting so well.

Of course it's not so readily available as it once was. If I ever need to remember this idea it might be a delve into the Barbeque charcoal bag.

Thanks for posting and thanks for the idea.

Now that's a good idea why didn't I think of that I will next time though as you say coal isn't as available nowadays

Hi Woody ,
              very nice indeed, 'course we couldn't do that here in the south as we can't afford the coal in the first place,(actally it never gets cold enough to need it )
