Spalted on Salt of the Earth Carpentry

Spalted Sycamore and Cherry Bed

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:36:22 -0500

A customer came to me to make a live edge bed. I layed out my design for him and he agreed. He wanted to get the slab wood himself. He found the most beautiful piece of sycamore I have yet seen!

Pecan Top Credenza

I had a beautiful piece of spalted pecan that was too small for a table but not something I wanted to split up and use in smaller projects. I designed this project around the top. It is finished out in hard wax finish and a top coat of ceramic.

Wood Shopping and Prepping

I have 3 main mills I like to shop for my slabs. Most of my wood for slab projects are purchased local from local trees. All trees at these mills are harvested from here in central texas.

Spalted Hickory Bed

This is made from some reclaimed wood that looks very rough, but once you cut it open and clean it up it is stunning. This bed is made from reclaimed oak as well as hickory.

Armor of God Podium

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:18:38 -0500

This was a fun build. It has everything built into this. The podium is made from spalted pecan and cherry. Behind the panels is a 1/2" thick balistic hardend steel. It is wired for network as well as power directly in the podium. I built in a hide-a-way area for all the wires and power which is easily accessible. I also have a false wall built in for when you are exersising your 2nd amendment rights. Also has plenty of storage. The cross on the front is proud of the panel by about 1/4 inch, and the spalted wood in the front panel was selected to give the cross to seem to be halo’d by the Light from the Son above. Very fun build.

Spalted Pecan Shelf Desk

This is a small shelf desk I made for a customer. It is a very small space, but this area needs to have access to computers and a monitor. This design really has worked out well in this spot.

Pecan Trunk with a secret!

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 23:27:47 -0500

This spalted trunk has a secret. Inside it has 2 separate areas with small passage way through to them. If you look at the outside, you will find a small entry portal. This trunk is actually a litter box and feeding area for our cat. It works perfectly! No smell, and no mess. The cat enters on the far side, eats food and then passes to through the second area in there where his litter box is. The entire box is made from pecan and has raised panels of spalted pecan.

Spalted Pecan Cabinets

These spalted pecan cabinets are a conversion I made for an existing space. This space was origonly just shelves with a curtain over it. I built this from pecan stiles and rails with raised spalted pecan centers.
