Spalted Beech

[Vic Perrin]

Home of Wood are selling 10kg bags of Spalted Beech Blanks at £35 plus delivery.

I had some of these when I went down to visit them last month and it is very nice timber with some lovely spalting.

Yet another reason to have them on my list of go to's.

Funny really, I wonder how many businesses can offer mouldy goods for sale and get everyone excited ?

And there is me thinking you had turned a nice piece of spalted beech :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Vic . I have just purchased 10kg.. It says to contact them direct on there shop listing for this so I did... Paul said he has had to put (contact them direct ) because hes getting so many orders in and doesn't want to sell them and not have stock etc...

Sorry, Misread the answer to my attempt to order - collapsed lung currently limiting my powers of concentration

Fantastic price for what has to be one of my absolute favourite looking woods to use (though I've only ever had pen blanks)

Look forward to getting some if I can.

Nic.

Hi Nic

The service and the cost of their blanks are very good. grab some if you can. They also said they have some spalted silver Birch , never turned that so wasn't sure if to buy some so I didn't this time... I may kick myself if you all say its nice

My timber arrived next day and I have been cutting some up today. It looks to be good quality stuff with a good moisture content. Varying degrees of spalting but even the stuff that's not very spalted has interesting figuring.

Thanks for the recommendation

Hi Pat, yes I have seen the Cherry on Ebay but that is only 1" thick. They have some 3"- 4" stuff drying, which I fancy getting hold of . Paul at HOW reckons that it would be another 6 months before it has dried out enough.

Cheers
