Spalted Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) heartwood is light brown to gray with contrasting light yellow sapwood and streaks of blue-gray fungal staining. Grain is usually straight with occasional interlocking structure. Machines good with both hand and machine tools. Spalted is not technically a species of Hackberry. It is Hackberry that has been allowed to begin the initial stages of decay, but then dried to prevent further decay. This partial decay, known as spalting, gives the wood its unique characteristic dark lines and streaks where fungus has begun to attack. Common uses include furniture, boxes/crates, veneer, turned objects, and bent parts. Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species. Cut from quality, kiln-dried stock. The grain runs with the longest dimension. The dimensions are +/- 1/8" of the listed size.
