Several months ago, my sister, who lives up in Gainesville, FL said she spotted a tree that had been struck by lightning last year looked like it may be spalted wood and said the next time I visit her, we should go check it out - it was cut into several logs and I ended up bringing a couple of logs home after visiting her for Thanksgiving - i am going to do different experiments with drying/cutting the wood - if all goes well - i may try to recon a couple larger pieces to do some carved or drop tops with... I am also going to be using this for some other cool wood projects - it's actually around 20% on the moisture meter and is really dense and not punky at all - may be good for some "green turning" - I spent almost 10 minutes on the sander to get the chainsaw marks out of it on the bottom picture...
