Description

The White Walnut that is great for carving!

Known as Walnut’s country cousin, Butternut is closely related to black walnut and is a joy to use. Due to a fungal disease, there is a rapid decline in the species and the tree is protected in Canada. The color ranges from light to medium tan with contrasting grain lines that form distinct patterns. The sapwood is a pale-yellow color. The grain is fairly coarse and has a natural luster.

Butternut is wonderful to work with hand and power tools, although its softness can lead to fuzzy surfaces left behind by planing and sanding. Make sure your tools are sharp or work through to finer sandpapers.

Be sure to check out our Carving section for a wider selection of Butternut carving options!

If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 8/4 Rough Cut Butternut Lumber for a more budget friendly version.

What does S4S mean?

S4S Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.

The term "surfaced" or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.

For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”

Rough Cut Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.

We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough cut lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough cut lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.

For example: 4/4 x (5-6”) x 24”

You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.

Good quality

Easy carving out my gouge

Carved out a little tray and some spoons with my 24" peice and everything turned out very nice. The wood responds nice to a rasp and gouge

8/4 Butternut Lumber

very satisfied

My butternut arrived in perfect condition and the quality is excellent.

Butternut Slabs

Very well packaged and good quality. One piece has a questionable area, but sharp chisels should handle it, so the onus is on me! Very fast shipping and just what I needed. Check out the current issue of Fine Woodworking.

Bternut

Arrived on time. Wood looks great. Can't wait to carve it.

I had one piece that was beautiful but the second one toward the end was a big knot and not sure if I can use it for my project. On the positive side the quickness of fulfilling my order was amazing. I will try another order to see how it goes because of their fast delivery

Better butternut

Arrived fast. Reasonably straight with little checking.

Butternut

Very nice wood

As advertised

I received an order of various 8/4 hardwoods. Came as advertised, quick delivery and ready to process. Will order again in the future. Shopping a little pricey but is what it is

My second order and it was just as good as the first.

This is a great way to get rare stock for small projects. I will continue to buy as needed.
