Looks like fresh cut black walnut to me. That greenish yellow color will go away as it dries.
Thanks for the tag, I’ll pass.

$8.50? Wow, Black Walnut starts at $19.95/board foot for 4/4 near me - that’s kiln dried. Not sure how you price green wood (is that your $8.50 /BF?) I know green is a lot more fun to turn at 5” thick.

We have lots of native Black Walnut in Illinois and I’ve turned some non-native English Walnut folks have planted. Have never seen any Claro Walnut growing around here (not sure if it would survive in Northern IL. ? )
I just looked it up real quick. I would assume they keep the prices current.$8.50? Wow, Black Walnut starts at $19.95/board foot for 4/4 near me - that’s kiln dried. Not sure how you price green wood (is that your $8.50 /BF?) I know green is a lot more fun to turn at 5” thick.
Jon, This is would be my first purchase on this site and I don’t want to break any rules. I want the wood. Please advise as to how I pay you and arrange shipping.

Mark -sounds good. I’ll send you a private message when I get home in a couple hours. Thanks!
Also - just showing — Cored 3 bowls from this larger chunk of the same Walnut today. 13”, 10” and 8”. I know some of it will fade, but cool colors.

Incredible color variations! Would like to see it after finish is applied. Chuck
That is pretty stuff. And yes, that'll darken up nicely with some softer waves going through it.

Mark @MarkRand1 - has provided payment. I’m planning to put some end grain sealer on the block today and get it in the mail tomorrow.
John....package arrived and thank you.

Sounds good Mark @MarkRand1 -
I put a coat of end grain sealer on the block, but would advise you to add another layer of sealer, or perhaps brown bag it for a few days and keep an eye on it. The environment in Texas is a lot different than Northern Illinois this time of year so watch for endgrain checking.
I’m going to close this one out. Much appreciated!
What about waxing the ends?

Yep. That works too. Was just thinking you probably have lower humidity(?) and warmer weather . We’re sitting at about 40 degrees and about 55% humidity today.
