Spalted Maple isn’t a unique species of Maple tree. Instead, it’s regular Maple wood that has started to decay slightly. This early decay stage is known as “spalting.” During spalting, fungi attack the wood, creating dark lines and streaks that contrast beautifully with the lighter wood. Because of its rare and striking appearance, Spalted Maple is a great option for projects where you want to make a strong visual impression. | GL Veneer, Inc.
