It's obviously burled. That isn't everyone's cup of tea, btw. Burled wood is unstable and prone to cracks, voids and fractures, and the grain runs every which way. Usually, highly burled wood is almost impossible to mill into typical lumber and it is usually utilized in lathe-turned objects like bowls.

If you're looking for Maple with lateral figuring like tigerstripe, or fiddleback, go to the north half of a feild surrounded by forest. The movement to the light bends the trunk and compresses the grain into cuts of beauty. Like the boards you splashed on the wall, Those boards are perfect for a table top. Just throw some CA polimer into the punky parts and you'll have a beautiful table, and that mantle is going to be exceptiona,l with the berl inclusions surrounded by figuring. It does look like that pith might give you some work after its dried but NICE FIND! ...and to think it was going to firewood👍

Yes, I had bug damage, punky rot, and wild figure to work with. But one can learn how to PLAN and cut for prime figure value, not just HOPE your cuts will turn out nice. Please learn how to best handle high value figured wood and not “waste” so much of it.

It depends upon what angle you’re looking at the log. To return her those nuts are the points of interest. There are chemicals that can be added to strengthen the Rottenwood. Also, quite often epoxy is used to fill holes including bug tunnels. When the world is turned, fascinating and very interesting arteries come out. Creating objects of great value, depending upon the artistry in the creativity of the wood turner. For making beams and boards it is trash. Open my mind from all directions and there are possibilities. When I was young girl, I learned this from the father of one of my friends. He was constantly doing things, often failing, but instead of losing money, he makes money. Each failure he turned into a success.

My dad had his 100+ year old maple cut down, and I asked for a round from near the base, expecting to make a simple live-edge table from it. However, this round is loaded with curly figure! I had no clue! I feel so blessed to own a beautiful piece of this tree that I used to play under, and I want to do the wood justice. What would you do with a 3-4” thick round of curly maple? I’m at a loss! (I should add that it’s now split into 2 pieces, since I thought I’d make 2 tables.🤦🏻♀️)
