I think it's time we talk about walnut, woodworkers of YouTube!
Yeah, I totally get that most woodworkers who use hardwoods are probably acquainted with walnut - but I'm going to cover some of the things you might not know, and hopefully help you build better projects and have a more enjoyable experience buying, using, and finishing walnut.
Hope you enjoy this one, and get something good out of it. I know it's a long one this time, but if I've learned one thing from you folks since starting this channel, you like to get as much solid info as you can. Hope this won't disappoint. Thank you -
M.S.
