Exhibition-Quality Figured Walnut Board — 24.5"
This one-of-a-kind slab is exhibition-quality walnut — the kind of piece you only see when figure, grain movement, and live-edge character all collide perfectly. Deep curl, rolling feathering, and natural chatoyance give the surface a shifting, almost luminous depth.
Hand-shaped and sanded through 10 grits up to 2,000, then finished with food-safe oil and Clapham’s Salad Bowl Finish, this piece doesn’t just shine… it glows. Every angle reveals something new — waves, ribbons, smoky transitions, and rich chocolate heartwood framed by natural live edges.
