One of my signature woods, American black walnut is found in the eastern United States. A recognizable and premium domestic hardwood, black walnut is often used for high-end furniture, interior paneling, veneer and wood turnings. The heartwood ranges from a light pale brown to a rich dark chocolate brown, sometimes taking a reddish, purple or gray cast. The sapwood ranges from a pale yellow-gray to nearly white. When both are incorporated into a piece, the visual effect is quite striking. Another feature of black walnut are the figured grain patterns that occur such as curl, crotch and burl. We especially look for "feather crotch" figure, which is unique to the forks in a black walnut tree and is especially prized.

About the Bowl Lines (Gallery & Rustic)
My primary line of bowls is what I call Gallery, and these bowls receive a lifetime number and line designation of "G+". Rustic bowls are designated with "R"and are unnumbered. Other differences between Rustic & Gallery is in the shape, feel and finish. Both bowl lines start with a bowl blank on the lathe that is roughed out and sanded. Rustic bowls are only given this initial sanding, leaving the wood smooth yet a little but rough to the touch. This is the kind of bowl that would have been used in earlier centuries before metals were used for dishes. With Gallery bowls, the sanding continues through many grits until the wood is smooth as silk.
Both bowl lines then go to the finishing stage where a specially blended food-safe finish is applied. Rustic bowls receive one application to seal the wood. Gallery bowls go through multiple applications. At this point, Rustic bowls are finished and move to the showroom. Gallery bowls, however, return to the lathe for a 2-step buffing process that brings the finish to high-gloss shine, showcasing the wood it protects.
