Spalder Alder is wood from trees that have naturally fallen in the forest; wood left to age naturally on the forest floor.
When the temperature and humidity are right, spalting can cause many different and beautiful patterns in aging wood.
The unusual colouration is caused by chemically induced reactions between the wood, fungi and insect deposits, often resulting in black, pink, gray, and multicoloured streaked wood. No two pieces are alike.
This wood is from Vancouver Island on Canada's westcoast of British Columbia.
