Spec piece made from walnut sapwood and heartwood (allegedly) from the same tree.

Thank you!

The lighter wood is walnut sapwood, often called blonde walnut. I also love the color.

Lol I've heard that before but I always try to encourage people to use them anyway. Things of beauty still yearn for purpose afterall.
