I just stabilized a couple of batches (5pc each) of curly spalted maple (1.35" dowel x 16"). On average, the pieces started out at 185g (6.5oz). I used Cactus Juice vacuumed at 26" Mercury, released, then repeated a few times, over three days, until there were no more bubbles. I cured them here in the shop. On average, the final weight was 438g (15.4oz). That makes them a little heavier then the bacote blanks of the same size but not as heavy as cocobolo.
I just thought I'd post my findings. Interpret however you see fit.
