Figured Claro Walnut Knife Scales

Figured claro walnut showcases the most varied grain and color of any walnut species. A hybrid often grown in California orchards, claro walnut was first popularized when woodworker George Nakashima used it to produce much of his boldly figured furniture. Like black walnut, claro walnut is very stable and easily worked. It is highly sought after for figured gunstocks, so a matching knife handle would be a welcome addition for any hunter.
