   Here it is, nearly 11 o'clock and nobody's answered?  During my coffee break, I Googled quickly and found several spalted poplar bowls (not sure if they're yellow, LOL).  Click here for the first one, quite pretty.  Click here for the search results, have a little browse.

   Thank you! That is a nice bowl. The stuff that I have has more spalt in it. I will take a picture tomorrow and post it.

   OK, I promised a picture. This blank is 4 7/8" thick x 11 3/4" wide x 12" long. This first pic is the sapwood side and the second pic is the heartwood side. The dark yellow on the heartwood side is not punk, it is moisture.

     This  does not address your question but DO wear a mask when turning spalted wood.The fungus spores can wreck your lungs.
