I don't see anything that's not to like. Glad you are going to keep it and use it Gabe.

To my way of thinking, so what about the warp, provided it yields the job, or at least can be put to use? Not real pretty to some, but evidently the blank was cut when the wood was fairly wet/damp and allowed to take it's natural "set". If the storage has allowed strong seasonal changes in relative humidity and temperatures, the stress left in the wood is almost certainly much less than if it had been forced. At least you can know what you are working with here.

I love the smell of good walnut. In the raw. Especially when the weather is a bit damp, or a blank or three has been wet down. It's intoxicating, to me at least. Gabe, have you noticed how the air dried walnut from individual areas can have a distinct smell to it? Not always, but some areas produce walnut with a real individual aroma. I am talking J. regia only. The others have their own pong too of course.

Who needs drugs when there is nice walnut.
