Oregon Claro Walnut binding. These are extremely tight, fine curl claro walnut. The figure strength is moderate, but its very very fine and tight in a way that is rarely seen for walnut. I cut all of my bindings and organize them by the lumber they were cut from, so all the binding of a particular batch, including this one, come from the same stock. This helps ensure a good match from strip to strip, as does the fact that I will pull your order for consistency at the time it is packaged. The picture shows a handful of the material from this very run. Since these are bulk stock, click add to cart and then adjust your quantity to whatever you like. Contact me for quantity discounts and bundle pricing. Recommended bending thickness is approximately .080".
