Hmmmmm? Spalted walnut. That's a bit unique.

tarheel74,
The logs we picked up had been cut down and laying for several years. At 7000' elevation and a typical humidity in the teens.
We can sticker stack.

We have the benefit of very low humidity here in NM.

Thanks for response, I used some of it as
Trim in the beach house and built a beautiful wine rack with some of it, I really like an oil finish like tung oil

Gotta love good walnut!
Especially from a log that's big enough to get past the sap wood and into the heart wood around a crotch or burl.
Some of the boards that I've seen come off from close to the dog plank have almost made me cry.
"Good enough" isn't.

� We have the benefit of very low humidity here in NM. I've never seen any NM Juglans nigra. Would bet that it's very close-grained.

Nice looking walnut. I am rather fond of walnut as it has helped pay off a couple of mortgages and a college education.

I love the smell of walnut when you cut or sand it.

Has paid for a good portion of my familys land holdings as well. :-D we love buying property with nice stands of black walnut being that we can cut it ourselves and have friends with mills.

Some mighty fine looking wood Sir. Pretty grain.
