Free Black Walnut wood, NOT STABILIZED. I would love to see these go to a paid knifemaker on here, but not necessary. USA only please.
*If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move where it should be.*
I have a few samples of Black Walnut that I would like some opinions on and I am willing to send it to you for free, 1 per person please.
-Please let me know if you would use it on a knife/project or just for kindling.
-Let me know how the quality of the wood is, poor, fair, good or excellent.
-If you use it one a knife/project, I would love to see some pics.
-If you stabilized it, oil it up or put a paint or acrylic on it, did you do the job or did you have it sent out.
-Do they have enough character or are they boring pieces.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
These blocks were crudely cut but I figured they would be sanded/grounded/milled to the contour of the knife/project.
These all came out of my backyard, we had 200+ tree logged out, so these are from the tops, there is quite a few nice logs.
Here are the spec and dimensions of the blocks,
Set 1- 5 7/8” long X 1 7/8” wide X 7/8” thick-SPOKEN FOR
Set 2- 5 7/8” long X 1 7/8 wide X 1” thick-SPOKEN FOR
Set 3- 5 ½” long X 2” wide X ¾” thick-SPOKEN FOR
Set 4- 5 ½” long X 2 1/8” wide X ½” thick-SPOKEN FOR
Set 5- 5 7/8” long X 1 7/8” wide X 5/8” thick-SPOKEN FOR
Set 6- This set would be great for pen/pencil set, 5 7/8” X 1 1/8” wide X 15/16” thick-available
Pics go in order, please let me know the one you want and PM where to send it.
Thanks
EDIT-If you are wondering why I am doing this, I am thinking of going on a business adventure and before I lay out $10,000+ for a Sawmill, I would like some feedback first.
