Claro Walnut Burl, Juglans hindsi, is found in Northern California and Oregon. A variation is also found in the eastern United States. The most common source is from orchards but also from walnut that has been used for ornamental purposes. The wood is marbled with violet, brown and black streaks swirling around burl “eyes”. Most burls grow under the ground attaching to the roots of the tree. They are not typically not found until the tree dies or falls over. This burl is from Oregon.

Copper is the inlay. It is typically found in multiple states in the U.S. including Utah, Arizona, Montana, Michigan and New Mexico. Copper is very malleable and has a beautiful reddish-brown color that accents the Claro Walnut Burl.  

The finish contains five coats of Tung oil; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the wood.
