While many people are not familiar with Hackberry trees, they are very common in the eastern United States. They look very similar to beech trees and the spalting patterns in this species has made it one of my favorite woods to work with. Spalting is part of the decay process and builds a lot of extra visual interest into many of the pieces I work with. All of the black lines you see in this piece are called “zone line” spalting. This more upright shape along with the dramatic spalting makes this a statement piece garnering a lot of attention in any room it finds itself in.
This piece has met all of my personal requirements to be included in my Black series. It is an absolutely stunning piece in every regard.
