spalted maple calls are done for 2016

Wow those are pretty sweet. Me and the boy just dug a nice sized maple burl out of the ground that was growing right at ground level. Had it sawed up and intend to do a little project of learning to stabilize with acrylic and a vacuum chamber. I told him whatever he can sell is his money. Did you do the stabilizing yourself?
 
Spook I haven't made any matching strikers. I've turned African blackwood gor strikers. African blackwood is thebezt wood I've found for striker's.
Might be a good idea to checking it. The problem with spalted maple is it's soft and needs hardening.

How about a blackwood striker stem and a maple weight on top? I'm just thinking out loud.
