comp56 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 so I'm riflin through my wood stock and far below in the pile I come across some of these 1"-1/8" x 6" boards......now I think it is Blonde Ash but could be wrong what do you think...........and close up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Not sure of the species but it looks spalted to me.. a fungus in the wood. Sugar maple is a common wood that this happens too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 looks like you may have nailed it...no pun intended..... I got about 1500BF of some ash awhile ago and it was piled without looking close until I started to get close to the middle of the stack .....

Damn, how much did you pay for it?Sent from my One M8 using Tapatalkactually nothing.........when my sister was building her camp she ordered Eastern Black Larch better known as Tamarack to do her loft railing and they sent her the Black Ash.......she called me to come get it as they just sent the right stuff and they didn't have a use for it in her camp.....

NERemodeling Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 That wood looks great in projects like that. It's kinda like a little gem that some of it was spalted because now it's like you have two different woods to work with!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 come to think of it I seen a TV show about funky growths on the side of trees and when cut up they were worth a fortune.....burl i think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Exactly. Pretty crazy stuff. The grain pattern in burl is wild and beautiful, that and the rarity is what makes them so expensive.I wish if I ever had a massive wart or funky defect that I could cut it off and sell it for lots of money! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
