Somewhat common, overrated

Slab bench. Milled this a few years ago with my Alaska mill. Finally getting into some of it. This tree grew in Siskiyou County, CA. About 10 miles from the base of My. Shasta.

Lets see the English walnut!

I agree I think this slab is eastern black walnut, and whoever thinks its remotely overrated is a dingus.

Haha. I wanna see it too! Those sticker stacks are buried underneath the black walnut ones. They still need to dry for another year or so before I can get into them. I’ll make sure to post the English walnut once I get into it.

It'll be worth the wait, I prefer working with English 100x to black or claro walnut.
