Curly English Walnut Root Flitches

 

This huge root was from the amazing curly English Walnut tree that the huge flitch above came from. The root was 18′ in diameter. We cleaned it up a little at a time over 5 years to get it ready to cut. It was full of stones and dirt that the root grew around. We cut it into 12/4 flitches. The wood is all highly figured with beautiful color.
