Juglans hindsii
One of the most visually-striking tonewoods we use, grafted walnut is formed when English walnut tree trunks (which produce better-tasting walnuts) are grafted onto blight-resistant Claro walnut rootstock at the seedling stage, when the future trees are no larger than a pencil. The simple act of combining two species creates a distinctive graft-line and a one-of-a-kind fusion of grain figure. We carefully cut this wood to showcase the striking graft-line, which is a nice visual counterpoint to the wood’s exceptional tonal warmth and power.
