About this episode
Shannon discusses the characteristics and challenges of Peruvian Walnut as a flooring species, along with related wood types and a video feature on urban lumber.
In this episode I feature Peruvian Walnut and talk about how it has become a flooring species. Specifically how its drying difficulty drove it to be a flooring product. Additionally I talk about juvenile wood, Jindai wood, and the Hickory/Pecan confusion. Make sure you check out TDC's video about urban lumber that features previous guests Camp Small and UVA Sawmilling. https://youtu.be/5kx-CoT4zsg?si=0j-g9JS70K5nFYR-
