What does spalting mean??
It is a by-product of the rotting process that is carried out by a vast array of stain, mold and decay fungi that are found naturally on the forest floor. When the temperature and humidity are right, spalting can cause many different and beautiful patterns in rotting wood. The unusual colouration may be due to chemically induced reactions between the wood fungi and insect deposits often resulting in black, pink, grey and multicoloured streaked wood. Once the wood has been cut and kiln dried, the fungi can no longer grow, and the spalting process will stop.
