I used to have several black walnut pieces in my home. a beautiful tall linen press, a low table, and a bookcase headboard-all mission (sort of ) style. also, I had a large butcher block island that I used to rub walnut oil into-killed the germs and darkened and made things look good. walnut is good. when I was a kid, and was mad, I used to go hang out under our walnut tree and smash walnuts under foot. cathartic. I grew up near Amana
