A friend lost a walnut tree during Hurricane Irma and let me have a few pieces to turn, I turned this one green, about 3/8” thick, 14” wingtip to tip, 12” wide. Finished with polymerized tung oil.

Excuse the shop pics, I was rushing to get this one finished for a wedding present this past weekend and didn’t have time to setup the photo booth.

The sapwood from this tree has been VERY difficult to cut cleanly, I had more tear out on the wings than I would have liked. I’m struggling with sanding dust staining the sapwood.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Another ringed foot, I tried a couple of these recently. I like this one better than my last.
