A while back my wife's cousin's son in Oklahoma gave me some large and small Black Walnut logs. When I saw them I thought they would just be firewood quality but just the other day I decided to cut into them and much to my surprise the secret unfolded. Wa-la! Beautiful bowl blanks. Now, I know it isn't my beloved Oak, but I couldn't help but think of Andy's walnut bowl and what I could do with these.
