Good things are worth waiting for. Back in February 2010 we featured an amazingly wide set of super walnut flitches as our Item of the Month. It was one of those popular items that sold in a hurry. So, here we are again, featuring treasures from the very same log. To really appreicate this selection, we recommend you take a peek back to early 2010 and see what the flitches from this log looked like.... absolutely spectacular widths. Feb 2010 - Item of the Month.

Set 207239 - WIDE Walnut - quartersawn and rift sawn
spectacular widths of vertical and straight grain
|
Working with a log of this diameter presented us with some real challenges. As the story goes, we were able to cut half of the diameter into the super flitches, but ingrown bark from the tree's crotch prevented us from being able to cut the entire log in the same manner. Since the log was basically quartered by the ingrown bark we decided to capitalized on the natural character and cut the remaining half of the tree into rift and quartersawn boards. The result - the WIDEST straight-grained walnut lumber we've ever produced! Where else can you find beautiful quarters in ~20" widths?!
