Ever spot those wild, flame-like patterns right where a walnut branch splits off? That’s crotch figuring: each slab’s got its own dramatic story, and it’s a big reason Kansas City walnut stands out. Then there’s the chatoyance: a natural shimmer that shifts as you move or the light changes. Curly figuring makes sweet ripples and waves, burl brings bold knots and swirls, and crotch figuring cranks up the visual drama. No two boards are ever the same: every table, shelf, and mantel is a true one-off.
Check out the slab in the photo. If you want furniture or shelving that packs real character, walnut’s got your back. Message us if you're ready to build something legendary.
