And yet another cracker, Neil. Looks really good.
When sanding spalted beech do you ever have problems with the black 'bootlaces' muddying the beech?

It can happen especially if you have a very "sooty" spalting or any torn / open grain. You can minimalize it by using a very thinned down Cellulose sanding sealer.

Very nice Neil. Nice piece of wood with well defined spalting. I agree with the thinned sealer I always buy my sealer un-thinned and mix as needed for the job in hand
