grafted while the trees were still alive? If so, that would be the first woodworking piece like it that I’ve ever heard of. very interesting!

Very nice looking piece Ron….I could see that in one of those fancy sound rooms at the guitar store where you can try out the high dollar guitars…or some music star’s house :) I used to do alot of grafting of native pecan root stock with all the different pecan varieties. I remember seeing a tree that was supposedly said the landowner was grafted between Walnut and Pecan, man I would like to see the wood inside that tree….

Good Job…

This tree came from an orchard where all the trees were grafted before planting.

3 1/8” thick and 4 ft long? Wow it’s a beauty and I bet it’s a beast to move around. More of a beauty though. Great build.

Beautiful piece! Interesting wood. I can now see woodworkers out in their yards grafting different trees for future projects! :)

This could be your guide to finishing the walnut burl table. I would like to see you keep the live edge consistant through out the piece, or at least not have any right angles (cut lumber stock) so that the rustic, natural lines flow. Your thoughts?
