I collected most of the trunk of a large Ponderosa killed some years ago by the beetles so I’ve started a series of large vessels from this one tree. This particular tree really shows the spalting caused the fungus the beetles carry into,the tree. The green malachite inlay I put into cracks that occurred as the tree dried out. I inlayed the areas cut out by the beetles with the black jet.
