thatknobtony Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hi everyone. Need some help please. I have given the neighbor lady some trivets lately and in return she got me two of these chunks of wood, God bless her but I have no idea what they might be. Can some one put a name to them please.

bandaideman Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I agree with walnut. Bark on walnut opens many possibilities. SCROLLSAW703, OCtoolguy and WayneMahler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Yup, Walnut. The typical walnut you buy at the lumber store is steamed to produce the uniform brown color we are familiar with. Air dried walnut will retain its natural colors which includes the purplish color you see in the picture. Steaming Browns the whiteish sapwood so the board will be a more uniform color.

thatknobtony Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Well that makes sense Dgman. I have some of the steamed stuff as well and the two types are very different in appearance. I do prefer the the look of the type in the picture though. I hope they weren't expensive. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
