I absolutely love that guitar body. It's beautiful.

So fungus causes the spalting. Got that. Now, has anyone encountered spalting that smells divine? So strong that you can smell it 10 feet away.

Greetings: I have been recently splitting firewood. Every now and then I would come across a log that was starting to go spongy in the middle, usually had a yellow/orange tinge to it and it would smell divine. Almost like a cross between lavender and roses. Any idea what is causing this? My wife and...

I too love the smell of aspen, or poplar. Not much density. It's known here for growing fast, then blowing down in a windstorm. I may try the roasted maple, if I can find a piece bit enough for a cello.
