Interesting! The lumber is air dried. It just amazes me that this wood can be a chocolate brown, cream, dirty brown and teal colors. It also has a different feel to it than the kiln driedwalnut I have on hand. It almost feels denser? Hard to describe, but it is pleasant to work with. Except right in the middle of where the grain begins to form a peak, and the grain is interlocking. I took a chuck of wood right out. Took awhile to plane smooth.
I wasn’t planning on dying it, but testing a piece with the amber shellac to see how it looks… I see others use blo and shellac. If norther of those work out, then I will try the garnet shellac.. Just trying to use what I have first….
