Hi all. Just finished my new spalted maple coffee table for my grinders, espresso macine and gear. I also made a sweet tamping pad from the spalted maple too. I am loving it and it functions great too.

Nice! I am building a coffee bar for my home office from curly cherry, rosewood, and kingwood that I collected over the years.

Sounds awesome! Quality craftsmanship.

Very nice. What finish did you choose?

That's really beautiful! I like the legs for it too, they go well with the top.

Nice table, but that is not spalted maple. It is Ambrosia maple. The discoloring is caused by the excretions of a burrowing Ambrosia beetle. A fancy way of saying beetle skidmarks. Spalting is a fancy way of saying molded wood. It is a mold that starts to grow within the grain structure of the wood as it starts to decompose.

Still nice.
