Description

This unique Black Walnut Platter with textured rim was hand turned by Jim Parker, father of Jeff Parker, past FEPS President. It is 10" in diameter, 1.5" high.


Black walnut is highly prized for its dark-colored, true heartwood. It is heavy and strong, yet easily split and worked. Walnut wood has historically been used for gunstocks, furniture, flooring, paddles, coffins, and a variety of other wood products.
