About this Class
It’s time to do it all. Join Dr. Spalting for an intensive 5-day class that covers every aspect of historical and modern spalting. From live fungal cultures to extracted and applied pigment, this course will cover historic spalting, modern science, and let students get down and dirty with some of the very best spalting fungi. In addition, students will get to learn about the advances in spalting research, make their own spalting dyes, and apply them to their turnings for ‘instant’ spalting. Students will learn the fundamentals of wood anatomy and fungal biology, turn many types of spalted wood, from zone lined to pigmented, from heavily decayed to lightly spalted, and everything in between.
Key Points
- History of spalting and its use in modern woodworking
- How the anatomy of wood relates to spalting progression
- How to grow and culture spalting fungi
- How to extract pigments from spalting fungi and apply them to wood
