what is the wood used in this demonstration? looks like it's spalted

[kfelderhoff]

@knifemakejake

Ambrosia maple comes from regular soft maple and Hard Maple trees that have been infested by the ambrosia beetle. The small beetle bores a network of tunnels and short galleries called cradles. A fungus is responsible for the blue, gray and brown streaks and decorative patch work that accompany each tunnel and adjacent wood. The streaks and patch work add a unique look to this hardwood without affecting its structural integrity.

I don't have a lathe, but i once made a baseball cap from plywood. A bit on the heavy side, but it did a great job of keeping the sun outta my eyes.
