Two Highly Figured Sequentailly Sawn California Bastogne Walnut Planks - Dry: 1 1/4" Thickness x 8" to 10" Wide x 46" Long. Spectacularly figured and rare California bastogne walnut sequentially sawn planks. Planed on both sides and air dried to 8% moisture content. Ideal for musical instruments, as well as high-end furniture/accessory projects where book and quarter matched band sawn veneers are needed. These planks are quarter sawn and 99.9% blemish free. Pictures of the bookmatched set were taken dry with no finish applied and both sides are displayed. The plank on the left has a beveled edge as shown in the close-up pictures. The width of this plank if the beveled edge was removed is 8" at the narrowest and 9" at the widest. This plank was turned upside down to better display the beveled edge. We included a picture of an acoustic guitar displaying the true color of aged bastogne walnut.

There are over 20 known species of walnut of which Bastogne is the most rare. Bastogne (Paradox walnut) is the result of a cross pollination between english walnut (Juglans regia) and California claro walnut (Juglans hindsii). Paradox walnut was developed by the world famous botanist Luther Burbank towards the end of the 19th century at his home in Santa Rosa California. The wood sawn from this tree is known for being very hard and occasionally displaying the characteristic colors of both english and claro walnut. Bastogne is a must in any wood aficionados collection. Price: $575 plus shipping. Happy to answer any questions: (800)660-0203 - ask for Michael.
