PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
Black Walnut Logs — Fresh Cut
This image-led workshop record shows freshly cut black walnut material immediately after processing. It highlights visible grain movement, sapwood-to-heartwood contrast, live edges and natural features useful for early material selection.
Fresh-cut appearance
Fresh surfaces reveal colour and figure differently from dried and finished material. Treat these photographs as a record of the material at the fresh-cut stage.
Grain and natural edges
The boards show varied grain, heartwood colour, lighter sapwood and irregular natural edges. These characteristics can guide initial selection for veneer, furniture or slab applications.
Selection and recovery planning
Board shape, defects and edge profile influence recoverable width and final yield. Cutting plans should be based on measured dimensions and an agreed defect policy.
What to confirm before purchasing
Confirm species, origin if required, log or board dimensions, moisture condition, grade, defects, target application, quantity, packing and inspection method. Final dried colour and movement cannot be guaranteed from photographs alone.
