Hi. In June 2005 I took advantage of some nearby tree felling and claimed some pieces of beech for woodturning, the best piece being a burr that was chain-sawed off the side of a felled trunk. All the pieces had their cut faces and end-grain well sealed with gloss paint and the pile has been loosely stacked in my garage since.
I noticed last week that the burr has a patchy area of white fungus breaking through the layer of paint, and I don't know what to do about it. The idea of having a spalted burr is great, but I don't want my prize find to simply rot away! Any suggestions on how to keep this timber usable would be very much appreciated - it's about 6 inches thick so I've got to let it season for a few years yet...
Thanks in advance!
