I've just released some rowan (mountain ash) from a local garden. Biggest piece is about 10" diameter by 4 feet long, but the figureing doesn't look terribly interesting. Has anyone tried spalting this timber, and if so, what was the result?

i've tried, it went very soft very quickly.... i didnt try again 
hi as im new to this power lathe game i cant really comment on how rowan would turn . i have made a nice bowl a few years ago on a pole lathe . but i do know if you get a nice straight grained piece you can make a good bow or small bits can be used to make tool and knife handles
