16" Walnut... Hard to find these days... Mom had a table leaf she wanted to use as a top for the Cast Iron Singer sewing machine base. Didn't think much of it till I began working on it. No glue lines, Cut to length and sanding exposed the annual rings. flat cut wood with the core near one edge which left about 80 rings to the other side. As there was no sap, I assume the tree was wider than the core heartwood. So this would put the Walnut tree well over 3ft in diameter (an achievement for Black Walnut) Wouldn't it be great to secure such woods these days...
