Any woodworkers in here?

All trash wood. Last picture is the pecan - you can see the spalting from the end grain.

Dart board box is from some oak firewood that just sat and was barely starting to rot.

I’ve ordered some blanks from Bell Forest before. Not sure if they have bowl blanks but give them a look.

I turned for a long time but my interests have changed.
I can see what I have left for burls, blocks and blanks. I probably have a few I'd give you if you pay shipping.
I've got tons of walnut rifle stock scraps if you want pen blanks or glue up material?

I've also made some cool stuff from scraps of larger projects and firewood.

Careful! You'll be dragging home every piece of "useable" wood you find!

When I moved from Louisiana to Tennessee I left my lathe to my best friend and his son, about 50 rough turned blanks and endless chunks of cool wood I had stored that filled up a truck bed.

I couldn’t have finished them all in a lifetime. It’s an addiction for sure!

Thank you!

So this morning on the way back from hunting I detoured to look at the old hickory I cut 2 years ago. I think there's still a lot of dry stuff there - larger limbs that haven't been touching the ground. And looking at my woodpile I found some spalted maple that seems a bit too far gone (rotting) to make anything from, I turned a piece for a minute this afternoon and it's still pretty but really soft, but there's definitely some dry honey locust and cedar and possibly some smaller elm rounds in there. In short, we have several things to get started with, but I appreciate all the offers.

Don’t look into vacuum stabilizing spalted wood!

Oh I already have considered it to salvage my persimmon chunk. If I could get a nice crimson streak of epoxy into the worst crack then cut a set of grips from that……lol.

Stabilized some what I think is ironwood. Had a neck knife, skinning knife, and a boning knife all made with matching handles.

Neck knife lived a hard life for a few years and has a broken tip and a chunk out of the handle and the kydex sheath doesn’t hold anymore.

But the other two have held up well to house and camp use.

I turn a lot of walnut, cherry, maple, and yellow birch.

I have used this before, not for turning, but I suspect if its not to far gone it would probably work.
