My buddy cut this at his sister inlaws on Lake Michigan at the Wisconsin-Michigan border. He owns a sawmill and has planted many walnut and butternut from nuts, so I believe him when he says it's walnut. But, this wood looks just like butternut, yet it's harder and heavier than butternut. I've never seen English walnut lumber, nor have I ever heard of anyone planting any up here, so I need some input on species. The color is darkened from the walnut oil and beeswax finish. Bowl is 11.5"x4.5". Comments and critiques welcome. Now I have to go figure out what to do with the ash funnel I made today.
