Milling a Monster Claro Walnut into Slabs

This is a sister branch to our last claro walnut video. Same tree, different branch. This log was 40 inches at the small end and 52 inches at the crotch peak. Claro walnut is a variation of black walnut with beautiful chocolatey grain!

Milled the entire log into 10/4 and 12/4 slabs. 2.5 inch for the majority with just a few 3 inch slabs. This stack will see a minimum of three years of air drying before it hits our kiln.

Amazing grain, amazing figure. These slabs sure didn't disappoint. Our WoodMizer LX250 sawmill and Takeuchi TL8 are the workhorses in the video!
