Title: This Walnut will be hard to beat
Post by: 123maxbars on November 26, 2019, 07:30:44 PM

Yesterday's walnut log produced some of the best wood I have seen. This TN walnut log came from a back yard of a residential area and was taken down by a tree service. I got the log for free and finally got around to sawing it yesterday. I sawed both 9/4 and a few 5/4 boards from it. Here is a pic of two matching 5/4 boards coming in at 27inches wide.

And here is a link to the video showing the days sawing. Forward to the 4 minute mark to see the sawing.

All the light stripes in it really sets it off. I'm sure it it were oiled you'd see a lot of color variation - purples and the like. You should price it accordingly when you sell it.
