1/24/2017 New batch of untreated wood.
These are extra thick blocks (about 2inch) average price $30.
These blocks were cut from the crotch section where the figure sometimes forms a feather. Hence the name "crotch feathers.
This is the Eastern variety American Black Walnut. The wood is noticeably harder than the west coast Walnuts. Very good coloring with an orange-ish tint. Good crotch figure that changes when the light hits from different angles.
Eastern Black Walnut is a very durable wood that is suitable for use as handle material, even on heavy use knives. I prefer using a Danish Oil finish for the best results.
This is untreated wood. It has not been stabilized (chemically impregnated).

The last batch of these was almost sold out within a day. These are the remainder of what I will be making available as untreated wood. The rest of what I have will be cut smaller and sent in for stabilizing.
