A friend of ours offered to sell us this walnut lumber which was milled onsite from a tree in her yard in town.
The wood had been air dried for several years and was in good condition. It just needed to be planed smooth and cut to width. So we hired Todd Lee to do the planing. (Note he also did the planing of the butcher block countertop described in another post).
Planed and in the house. you can see the randomness of width which still needed to be addressed. I thought I would do this milling myself, but we realized it would really slow down the process and we already had plenty to do to finish up the project. So, we hired another local guy with a cabinet making shop.
With a coat of polyurethane added, the final product really shines. The dark walnut highlights the light color of the pine windows.
