Claro Walnut FOR SALE

California Claro Walnut FOR SALE

SET 1

West Hills Wood has California Claro Walnut for sale. We have a friendly supplier in the Central Valley. They have been harvesting old groves and private property for 20 years. The rough cut wood is air dried.

We brought the rough wood to our shop in Los Angeles and surfaced four sides, fully expecting that you will finish the surface work to your own specifications. There is ample thickness to work with and enough wood in each set to complete a nice project. If you need more wood than what is shown, contact us and we will see what we can do to fill your need.

ALL SETS HAVE BEEN SOLD

**************************************************************************************

All three of these wood sets have been sold. We have a direct line to more walnut and will be happy to work with you on picking some out of our stack. However, this will require you to come to the shop and select from what we have on hand.

shipping costs are outrageous and we will not be able to get you good wood at a reasonable price if it needs to be shipped.

But if you come by the whop, you can pick what you need and we can machine it to rough size for you.

*************************************************************************************

This first set (SET 1) consists of five pieces, weighing ten pounds. The pieces measure Length x Width x Thickness:

14 1/4 x 5 x 1 inches

16 5/8 x 5 1/8 x 7/8

17 x 5 1/8 x 1

25 5/8 x 4 7/8 x 7/8

17 7/8 x 4 x 1/2

The California Claro Walnut for sale here was milled at our shop in Los Angeles. We are showing you both sides and an edge, with a tape measure pulled to about 30 inches for scale. There are a few knots, a graft feature in the grain (visible in the photos), and some very minor cracking that can be finish milled away. No wax or other preservatives have been applied.

This is California Black Walnut, often referred to as "Claro", meaning clear. That's an odd way to describe the beautiful grain drama found in this wood. These particular pieces (as with all our Claro sets) were cut from a single tree. Tree curvature, dryness, and other factors dictated the final size of each set.

Keep in mind there are three distinct sets available on this page. SET1 has five pieces, SET2 has four while SET3 has three. Dimensions are given. You buy the entire actual set shown here. You can calculate the board feet if you want, but at this price there's not much to go wrong.

SET 2

Here are images of SET 2, California Claro Walnut for sale by West Hills Wood. Again, we have both sides shown and one edge.

There are four pieces in SET 2. They measure Length x Width x Thickness:

19 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 1 inches

20 1/8 x 5 x 1

22 x 5 x 1

24 x 5 x 1

As with SET1, the boards in SET2 are all related and come from the same tree. All boards in SET2 are 1-inch thick. This will give plenty of room to work with.

You are certainly welcome to drop by the wood shop and see this wood before buying. Call ahead to ensure availability. The shop is at 7503 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Canoga Park, CA.

We have more of this wood and can provide you with a variety of sizes, thickness, and coloring. We will add more sets here when we get them milled.

SET 3

SET 3 is of the same California Claro Walnut, but is milled to a finished thickness of 3/16s. These pieces are long and clear of defects, surfaced on two sides. Again, we are showing you the two sides. Standing a 3/16 board on edge is not happening.

40 x 3 1/2 x 3/16

46 x 6 1/4 x 3/16

59 x 6 1/4 x 3/16

There is a tape measure pulled out to 48 inches for scale with SET 3. We milled this set on March 3. There are multiple opportunities here for a luthier to capitalize.

We have much more on hand. Let us know when you want to come by and check it out for yourself.
