This is the small sister to a piece my wife claimed and is making me make her a hall table with. It's quite rare to find walnut with spalted sap that is still very hard. All I've done to this piece is power wash off the rotten bark and what little punky sap there was, and ran it through the planer. 60.4" x 11" (at widest) x 7/8" thick. As usual pictures suck compared to what it really looks like - guess I'll never learn how to get the most out of this great camera.

To show how this piece can look here's a peek at the piece my wife claimed. Don't ask to buy this one unless you want to see me hand by my neck until I am dead. I have a little less than 4 hours in this piece forming the rough edges where it was punky to make it look natural where it was "chunked" off from the power wash, then sanded to 220. I will take this to at least 600 because although the pictures don't really show it, these pieces have a LOTof stuff to pop.

This is one of the rare times I have actually sketched a design for this table because I saw it right away as I took this off the log. It's going to be interesting to say the least. I'm afraid if I'm able to pull off the design the trestle arrangement may actually over power the wood itself, but I'm going to do it anyway.
So anyone interested in the little sister can have it for the incredibly low price of only $75 BUT! If you order before midnight I will also pack the box with other fun stuff.
Seriously this is a very low price IMO just try to find another one like it (except my wife's). Yes darnit I will consider a trade for something incredibly spectacular. :dash2:
:hatsoff:
