And last but not least... something i found interesting.

This big beach tree had some irregular growth to the bark and such... so I looked it up and its referred to as "Angel Step".

Supposed to be more common on other types of wood.... like sugar maple. This tree is gonna stay.

This is not spalting nor is it hard(sugar) maple. you have soft maple there in the last photo. And some of the other ones sure look like soft maple to me. That spalting is worm track cause by the ambrosia beetle.

That is marking from the Ambrosia bettle, Spalting is a different pattern caused by fungi, no matter it is cool. Folks that turn wood on a lathe would be intersted in those pieces as is. Try posting pics on the turning forum you may have iterest, Joe.
