    Nope, walnut is pretty much useless as far as wood working goes. :sir:

    Cut 'em up and put a mosaic together, like that post about the rounds being used as a flooring alternative.

    People around here go absolutely bonkers for walnut for wood working and table top slabs, my buddy sold a live edge slab that was super warped for 300 bucks last year.

    I myself love the look of the pieces he had cut up and gave to me for helping when the sawmill came, there in my profile picture, can anyone guess what they are?

    No, no, no, the best use for walnut is in the last of February thru early April. Makes great walnut syrup .

    Sometimes we make clocks and walnut can make good framing. Here is a clock we made recently and although it is not walnut frame, we have used walnut in the past.

    I don't think there are many woods that look better than a simple oiled black walnut finish.
