MOVING SALE! Ok guys, I’m ready to clearance thousands of board feet of walnut. Mostly claro walnut orchard slabs with a little English walnut above the graft lines (really beautiful slabs!! Crazy color). I also have Burl cookies, extra thick slabs (some up to 9” thick!) and some extra large slabs (up to 17.5’ long and 6” thick—already kiln dried). It’s too complicated to list everything, so if you’re seriously interested DM me. I’d prefer to sell in bulk. Have a good weekend friends! @ Arroyo Grande, California

It’s “harvest” time around here. Every fall I pull all the drying slabs out of storage, reposition the stickers (to avoid sticker stain and uneven drying), and then get it all back under cover before the winter rains.

Repost from . I love how this off-grid guest house turned out! If you look real close you can see a little Nakashima inspired coffee table I did a few years back. As always, throwing down some incredible photos!

Stone top on a walnut tri-base. The lumber for this came from a dead walnut tree on the clients’ property. I had the tree milled in 2017, air dried it for 2 1/2 years, then kiln dried it, then flattened it, and finally made this table base. Not a quick process, but satisfying. Have a good weekend, Amigos! @ Paso Robles, California
