Spalting in timber creates stunning natural patterns and unique colour variations. Beech wood, when harvested at the right time, develops particularly striking spalting, often resembling an ancient papyrus map. Each piece of spalted wood is truly one of a kind, as the organic decay process in nature can never be replicated exactly—making every creation a discovery.

This particular piece features the pith of the log, carefully stabilised with epoxy resin to reinforce any radial cracks. Black artist’s pigment was blended into the epoxy, accentuating the natural dark lines of the spalting. It stands as one of the finest examples of Spalted Beech I have encountered.

For a flawless finish, it has been meticulously polished with three coats of Liberon Finishing Oil, enhancing its beauty and durability.
