Where the natural elegance of spalted maple wood meets the sophistication of deep pearl white resin, creating a striking blend of modern refinement and rustic charm. The spalted maple, with its light, creamy tones and distinctive black markings, exudes a sense of organic beauty and character. The unique spalting patterns, where dark lines and streaks weave through the wood in intricate designs, give the piece a beautiful, almost ethereal quality. These natural imperfections, which occur when fungi infect the wood, result in patterns that are as delicate as they are captivating, making each board a one-of-a-kind creation. The wood’s smooth, fine texture enhances its inherent elegance, while its subtle grain patterns provide depth and intrigue.

In perfect contrast to the light, airy colors of the spalted maple, the marble-like pearl white resin flows elegantly across the board, enhancing its modern appeal. The resin’s glass-like finish creates a lustrous sheen, offering a stark, yet graceful contrast to the natural warmth of the wood. The rich, milky white tones of the resin evoke the luxurious gleam of mother-of-pearl or soft marble.

Adding an element of refinement and contrast, the board is fitted with speckled marble handles that bring an extra touch of luxury. Their cool, polished surface offers a tactile complement to the natural wood, while their bold, sculptural design provides a modern, geometric edge. Brings a beautiful color and light to a clean, minimalist canvas, while allowing the natural beauty of the spalted maple and the elegance of the pearl white resin to take center stage.

Spalted maple is a highly distinctive and sought-after wood known for its striking visual appeal and natural, intricate patterns. It is a variety of maple wood that has undergone a specific type of decay caused by fungi, resulting in the characteristic dark streaks and lines that crisscross the wood in bold, irregular formations. These "spalting" patterns range from deep black lines to rich brown and gray hues, creating a dramatic contrast against the pale, golden or creamy tones of the wood. The result is a beautiful, almost abstract design that gives each piece of spalted maple a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.

The color of spalted maple can vary, but it typically has a soft, honey or light amber base, with swirling veins of darker colors, creating a visually dynamic texture. The natural grain of maple, which can be straight, curly, or wavy, is enhanced by the spalting, providing added depth and complexity. These unique markings and the contrast between light and dark areas make spalted maple especially prized in fine woodworking, where it is used for everything from furniture and cabinetry to artistic pieces like cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and bowls.
