walnut

My first gallery post here. Walnut and maple. 9" diameter. 3" tall.

Turned from dry stock that I acquired from a former gunstock maker in California

Cherry teapot, Walnut spout, handle and knob. Mahoney's oil finish then buffed out. 5 1/4" tall, 4 1/2" diameter.

Walnut with striated grain pattern and oak lid with knob. Two boxes made from same walnut log not 8 inches apart with different grain patterns.

Walnut box with a spaulted pecan lid. About 6 inch diameter

This box is figured walnut with a maple burl inlay. Box is approx. 3" tall and 2" wide. The contrasting maple burl with the walnut looks really good!

Here is the side view.

This is my first ever attempt at segmenting. There are 48 segments with a walnut base. The process is really enjoyable and more segmenting will be coming!

This walnut root from Brandon city hall was just right for a vase but that rock in the bottom hurt, then as it dried cracked top down. Had wanted to do laces for a while and finally got the chance on this one. Finish is Watco natural with acrylic paints.

Made this box. Just adding the finish. It is made from leftover walnut and cherry from a cutting board project.

My first segmented piece… I used maple with walnut veneer to give a “grout” line look. Top and bottom rings are from walnut to contrast and tie together. Lid is curly maple with walnut knob, reflecting the box shape.

This was a backyard tree. It seems that urban walnuts typically have a wider colour variation than forest walnuts, at least in southern Ontario. Cut in July 2021, turned green the same month, re-turned February 2022. Five coats of wipe-on poly followed by Beall buff. 18.5 inches in diameter, 2...

Lidded vase - 8" dia x 10" - Cherry burl with walnut lid - sure would be good full of homemade Toll House chocolate chip cookies.

This is the first time I tried something with a lid of sorts. The finial is ebony and also my first time at turning one. About 9 inches across

I recently aquired some IPE Brazilian Walnut deck boards from a friend. As the wood is beautiful, my understanding is it's very toxic. Does anyone know anything about this wood and how safe it is for food items. Attached is a bowl I made from it. Thanks for any insight.

Turned, Carved walnut, steel, mahogany trivet

Sawn in Aug 2020, rough turned in September, finished turned this April. Bee’s wing figure as the pith was below the bowl bottom. About 15 inches in diameter x 3 inches high. Finished with 6 coats of wipe-on poly.
