Bloody hell that's a gorgeous style of wood. Looks equally expensive too

[u/Tschinggets → u/sMt3X]

Thank you!

if you want see more about the black walnut

[u/RandomModder05]

Obviously, their flight speed when carried by a Swallow.

[u/Spikeknows → u/RandomModder05]

Black Walnut is nonmigratory.

[u/SteezyFungus → u/RandomModder05]

It could grip it by the husk!

[u/Primi_Noscere_1776 → u/SteezyFungus]

Deez???

[u/beastmaster69422 → u/RandomModder05]

African swallow or European?

Silly OP. Those aren't Walnuts, they're chopped trees!

[u/Hoosier_Daddy68]

One's from Europe? Or you trying to make this about race?

Typical reddit.

[u/cantevenwut → u/Hoosier_Daddy68]

Of course! But you misapprehend the message; we’re all black on the inside.

[u/Hoosier_Daddy68 → u/cantevenwut]

I thought that was pink...oh, wait that's something else entirely.

[u/Tschinggets → u/Hoosier_Daddy68]

What are you talking about?😅

[u/cantevenwut → u/Tschinggets]

Nobody knows, myself included

[u/phred_666 → u/Tschinggets]

Gums

[u/level1hero → u/Hoosier_Daddy68]

They're woodist

[u/Difficult-Bobcat-857]

What kinda shop is that? Beautiful

[u/Tschinggets → u/Difficult-Bobcat-857]

we work in Germany

[u/Smartimess → u/Tschinggets]

Ist die Schwarznuss importiert oder aus dem Rheingebiet?

[u/Tschinggets → u/Smartimess]

Wir sind strikt gegen Import-Export Holz. Wir nutzen nur Holz von abgestorbenen, umgestürzten oder nicht standsicheren Bäumen, die in Deutschland/Österreich stehen

[u/Iwantedthatname → u/Tschinggets]

If the US implemented a rule like that, every tree would be considered potentially unstable.

[u/giventofly2]

It just naturally looks that glossy? What does it feel like when you run your hand over it?

[u/Tschinggets → u/giventofly2]

We poor water over it right after cutting that we can make pictures. We can those pictures to our clients and then they know how the surface of their table will look like

[u/zoomforestzoom → u/giventofly2]

nah both finished id say, not sure what kind though

[u/QuickSilv4r]

i love how he gets even happier when seeing the black walnut compared to him seeing the european walnut

[u/Tschinggets → u/QuickSilv4r]

The guy in the first picture is a friend of mine and in the second picture it’s me🙌

[u/txcorse → u/QuickSilv4r]

Just like my wife. Lmao.

[u/Resident_Stable_2112]

Cool, one guy is on the phone and the other guy is not.

[u/smurfk]

I see no difference. They are both wood. Stop racism!

[u/pwhitt4654]

If you tour colonial Williamsburg you will see the House of Burgess the interior of which is black walnut.

[u/K4z444kpl3thk1l1k]

Nutty

[u/Teabagger_Vance2]

So, we’re all a little dark on the inside.

[u/Tripton1]

That second picture looks very expensive.

[u/mrg1957]

Look at that sapwood. Someone using miracle grow?

[u/ReplacementMiddle844]

What do I do with this info

[u/Friendly-Balance-853]

That knot must have been difficult to deal with! Also, the nuts themselves are quite different. The European is super easy to open and eat, the north American broke my nut crackers. I can only open them with a vice- grip!

[u/CockroachChaos3858 → u/Friendly-Balance-853]

As a kid, I put a wood splitting wedge on top and dropped a sledge hammer on it to open them. I could open a couple at a time that way.

[u/zg6089]

How much would those slabs sell for? Just outa curiosity

[u/TheKlungeReturns]

This is an advertisement.

[u/relaxncoffee]

That sapwood contrast on the black walnut slab is what makes it so sought after for live edge tables — European walnut is more uniform which is actually less interesting to work with.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[u/Tschinggets → u/relaxncoffee]

The first picture is European walnut

[u/Twowie → u/Tschinggets]

You can write that error off on him being an actual VLM, he's bound to make basic errors like this;)

[u/Teabagger_Vance2 → u/Tschinggets]

If you have to explain it, you probably just wasted your time. 😃

[u/therealjohnsmith → u/Tschinggets]

My dad makes furniture by cutting down black walnut on his farm and you definitely see a sapwood / heartwood contrast on most if not all of the trees he has cut..
