prettygoodwordspalting - n., wood coloration caused by fungi.
Especially the sorts of interesting coloration sought after by woodworkers. Not to be confused with a spalting knife, also spalding knife, which is a knife used in splitting codfish. No etymology from me on these, though I suspect the knife of having Norse if not Icelandic roots.
