Black Walnut Split Coffee Table

16" h x 48" l x 25" stunning black walnut coffee table. Black walnut - Crotch wood is a figure that develops when a tree knits a trunk to a branch or two branches together. It is often referred to as a plume or a feather. Almost all hardwood trees have crotches, although not all crotches are created equal in splendor. This is often characteristic of trees with hard bark such as cherry, walnut, and hickory. In these species sometimes it is necessary to cut ten logs to get one series of high quality crotch sets. Once a crotch log is cut and good quality pieces have been produced then extreme care must be taken in the drying process. Crotch grain is very similar to end grain and dries at a different rate than the face of the rest of the board. *** Customer Also Available *** Rustic creative tables, cutting boards, custom tables, and more by Russ from RDK Woodworking.
