Glatt, is the color off on that? It looks more like black locust to me, or olive wood, especially the grain.

The color is correct, but it's unfinished, so it might look a lot darker with a finish on it. But now that you mention it, I'm not positive it's black walnut. It was a long time ago that I cut up that log. The tree's leaves and bark looked like black walnut, but there were no walnuts present at the time it came down. I don't think it was black locust though since there were no thorns anywhere.

Black walnut is really chocolaty brown, Locust is orange when freshly cut down, greenish yellow when dried turning cafe au lait brown when exposed to light for a long time. The grain is very open somewhat like oak or ash but not quite as large pored. Very similar to Mulberry or Osage Orange if you are familiar with them, I think you have those down near you. Black walnut has very fine grain structure, a lot like mahagony. Perhaps

Definitely not Mulberry or Osage Orange. The leaves were all wrong. But black locust and black walnut leaves are similar enough that I could have confused them. And I was actively looking for spines, and saw none, so I ruled out black locust in my mind. That's about all I remember from that day a decade ago.

Does not look like black walnut from here. manymany variables, sure, but the color seems to be far too light, and variable.

I made a social story for a boy who hates the cleanup transition. First day was a positive step.

Congratulation on the positive step. Was this the first day back after a long break? If so, was that a good thing, or a more difficult thing? |
