: I have a large quantity of spalted maple(seasoned), which I am selling for 2.00 per lb. Largest pieces are about 2ft.x 2ft. The price at hardwood retail shops runs from 4.00 to 6.00 per lb! Nice figured wood, with irregular, thin black lines running through it.

I also have an entire tree which is down two years now. Some branches are in good shape (well spalted). The trunk I do not know its condition. i have absolutely no idea of how to further care for this wood or how to tell when it is in a good condition of spalting. Can you give me any advice.
If you are concerned i am stepping into your territory, I am in Ridgefield, CT.
