The trunk. The very old walnut tree stood in front of a farmhouse in the Bucklige Welt. Its character was formative for the region, yet its crown was too heavy and tore the base of the crown. The trunk, which is more than 135 years old, is rarer and more unique than ever in its appearance, size and now also in its final form.
The craft. After slicing by hand with our mobile Alaska Sawmill, the individual posts were air-dried for 3 years. The bark was deliberately left on the edges to prevent the tannic acid from blackening individual areas. Then dried for 6 months in the drying chamber to a wood moisture content of 9%. The raw material was milled off, cracks and rotten areas were glued with slightly grayed epoxy resin. The surface was sanded to 180 grit and finished with a G5 treatment.
Unique. A native nut of this size and appearance is rare and hardly available.
