Spalted Maple gets its patterning form the natural decomposition process. Black lines, and kaleidoscope variations of color are a byproduct of a naturally occurring fungus. The decomposition process is halted by sterilization and then the wood can be shaped. The beautiful and unrepeatable patterns in each piece of spalted maple inform how each piece is utilized. This sturdy book end can hold up your most voluminous tomes. Capable of holding both live and dried flowers. Glass vials for cleaning and holding water included.
