Black Walnut Wanted

[sonya1975]

Wondering if anyone can help!! I'm looking for a piece of Black Walnut which can be made into two shelves. which have natural beveled edge

The dimensions in after are: 800mm long and left side 180mm (approx) going to 220mm (approx) to the right side; and 600mm long and left side 180mm (approx) going to 220mm (approx) to the right side

I have attached a photo of what I'm after, however this is now no longer available on the Internet

If anyone can help or put me in contact with someone I would be much appreciated

i don't believe that you will get black walnut with a waney edge. like most american imports black walnut comes in all square edged boards with the wane cut off.

 

european (or english) walnut can be obtained with the waney edge still attached so i recommend you check out a lumber yard like glenmere or whitmores.

Not all black walnut is imported, quite a few are UK grown. So waney edge , black walnut should be possible.

 

But English walnut is good to, woodworm love the sapwood though...{On all walnut.}

Great thanks for your suggestions, I've been in touch with both lumber yards to see if either can help, thanks again

i did not think we grew any juglans nigra in this country at all...

 

where do they grow some?

There is a big one in porlock on exmoor I collected seed from it and grew about 50 saplings. Planted a couple out in my parents wood and one survived.

Not uncommon as single specimens in the gardens of stately homes, Steve. There's a good one not far from me in Tatton Park, Cheshire. Don't believe they are grown as a crop though which is surprising given their good growth rate and ever-increasing price of the timber.

Try Kevin at Surrey Timbers, he's got some amazing different timbers from all over the world.
