Creativity Within

The wood

The walnut was given to me by Mark, a friend who also happens to be a neighbor. He got the wood from his former boss who had it stored in his garage for 40 years. I’m guessing it’s dry by now. The boards averaging 12 feet in length were rough cut and not very straight and somewhat twisted. I chopped it into manageable lengths. The longest straight piece was about 4 feet long. In return for the wood I made Mark a small floor mounted cabinet/book shelf for his foyer. The boards are a mix of dark and light-colored sections.
