Turkish Walnut, Nature’s Masterpiece

Navigate to the next section

Nature’s art

Renowned for being light, dense, resilient, and easy to shape, yet resistant to splitting and able to absorb more recoil than any other wood, Turkish walnut is the material of choice for the world’s most experienced stock-makers.

Before reaching our workshop, century-old, end-of-life walnut trees (no longer able to bear fruit) are carefully selected in the Turkish mountains.

Grown without chemicals and harvested at the root, each blank displays organic patterns that attest to its quality: the richer the figuring, the higher the grade and the more pronounced its properties.

Quality

To ensure the highest standards, each blank is naturally dried in a controlled environment and carefully tested for moisture content before being catalogued and presented to our clients.

Unique

No two wood blanks are ever alike. From their grain patterns to their natural properties, each one is shaped by time and nature. Our selection is filled with future works of art, now it’s time to choose yours.
