Sumac: Glowing Wood

This video was made in my sister's university lab. It shows how sumac wood glows under a blacklight (fluorescence). Sapwood emits a faint blue glow while heartwood glows bright green.

This wood is not ideal for carving but I carved one more spoon from it. What could be a better gift than a spoon you can impress your labmates with?
