Spalted Sycamore

I'm preparing to make some moldings for the upper hutch unit tonite, but I did take some time to plane some spalted sycamore. I found this wood over the summer, in the southerntier of New York State. I've used spalted wood before, but never spalted sycamore. It's very similar to spalted maple in appearance, but is a little less dense. Here are some pictures of spalted sycamore:
How could you not make a beautiful piece of furniture with lumber like this?
