This live edge Oregon Black Walnut Desk is 50” x 25 -28½“ and 30” tall. Oregon Black Walnut is also known as Claro Walnut and Western Walnut. The trees were first planted by settlers in Oregon during 1800’s creating orchards, a source for food. Over the past two hundred years they have cross-pollinated. Now walnut from Oregon even though it is labeled as Oregon Black Walnut is typically a hybrid. This desk has heavy patterns of claro walnut with unique patterns and spalting that reflects a marbled presentation with swirling brown and black streaks. The desk top is Oregon Black Walnut from an area south of Portland. The legs are walnut are constructed of walnut from Iowa. It is the traditional patterning of walnut from the upper Midwest and Eastern U.S.

The finish contains five coats of hand-rubbed Tung oil; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the wood. To maintain the beauty of the Oregon Black Walnut/Claro Walnut avoid using cleaning solutions instead use water in a damp rag. Remove the excess moisture with a clean towel. For polishing a beeswax solution such as Howard Feed-N-Wax or Artisan Lemon Oil Wax is good. Just follow the directions from the manufacturer. Questions, you can call us anytime at 206-679-4084.
