This table was one of three pieces from the same slab.  Same tree. Same grain. Same story. Three pieces that will never exist together again.
Bastogne walnut is a natural hybrid of Claro and English walnut, first attempted by Luther Burbank in the 1890s. The result was so contradictory — harder, faster-growing, yet sterile and unpredictable — that he named it Paradox. The name stuck.
No one farms it. There are no plantations. Trees appear as natural offshoots in Oregon walnut groves. When one comes down, it’s salvaged or lost. The color — reddish-orange heartwood, smoky dark grain lines, hints of purple — comes from its mixed genetics. You cannot replicate it with stain
Black epoxy celebrating natural cracks and voids. Custom powder-coated steel base for modern stability. European hardwax oil finish.
