I see the firewood pile as BTU's but Mary examines each piece with an artist's eye and she has gleaned a small stash of awesome pieces that she turns into beautiful rosettes. We may have been one of the earliest users of spalted Maple rosettes? I thought she was nuts, putting those rotten and punky pieces of maple aside, until I saw what she did with them and lo and behold spalted maple has become one of our most popular rosette choices.
