Spalted Maple

Much like Ambrosia Maple and other forms of figured maple,
Spalted Maple is technically not a specific species of Maple,
but rather a general description of any type of Maple that has been
allowed to begin initial stages of decay, and then subsequently
dried (preventing further decay).
The partial decay, called spalting, gives the wood dark contrasting
lines and streaks where fungus has begun to attack the wood.
