This chair was crafted by an Atlas client using our walnut lumber. Other than a small patch of sapwood in the middle of the chairback, the chair is almost exclusively made from heartwood walnut.
Walnut can vary in color from region to region. Walnut logs harvested from the mid-west tend to have a more consistently dark heartwood than those of other regions. This stock was selected for its heavy heart content and mild sapwood which does not detract from the look of the piece.
