You could sand it back.

I cant recall seeing a spalt with a stain on it. Maybe it doesnt work?

Me neither and thus I recon you're probably right :( could indeed, might do so.

sand it back and you will probably find a nice amount of colour residing in the spalt

spalt gets a bit spongy so it probably soaked it all up. i am surpirsed by the complete coverage though, what did you do it with?

having said that, every piece of spalt is different.  i would do a bookcase from something like spalted beech at an early stage of its spalt but not from maple at the point where its nearly completely rotted away - take each piece as it comes

Nice Thomann box there too ;)

It's just some stain I got from B&Q but it'll be nice if the - 'sand it for the grain and it'll have still hopefully have soaked in' thing works out :) Shall try later... Might need to put another coat on first where some bits are a bit dull/cr@ply painted :lol:

Nice Thomann box there too ;)
