Title: Black Walnut Baskets

We live in an area with lots of Black Walnut. A guy down the road has a small sawmill and has been sawing local wood for years. These are from a 1x10 Black Walnut board that's been drying for 10 years. The heart wood/sap wood mix is really highlighted by the curved cuts in the rings. These baskets are 10" diameter and 5" tall (full 1" lumber), finished in 50/50 BLO and Mineral Spirits, then wiped down with Feed-N-Wax.

Beautiful bowls.  Very nice work.  I love walnut, both black and English.

Very nicely cut Ray.  Black Walnut always looks great when finished.  Thanks for sharing these with us.

Lovely looking baskets Ray.  Really like the Black Walnut, don't think I've seen it before.
