Black Walnut Baskets
« on: September 01, 2014, 09:48:44 am »

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.

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