What a day

When my brother was living in Stockton he had a line on black walnut. He used it for fancy gun stocks, and this he made us for our wedding.

We don’t see it too much around here but every now and again one presents itself. I turned this from a storm damaged black walnut in Brentwood Bay — I still have a few blanks that have been sitting now for probably 35 years. Lovely stuff.

The one thing I sorely miss about those oaks was using them in the BBQ. They made meat taste spicy and wonderful. Better even than mesquite IMHO.
