The wood of J. hindsii is commonly called claro walnut by the lumber industry and woodworkers.[5] It is highly figured with a rich brown color and striking grain patterns, especially in the crotch areas, where large limbs meet the trunk.[6] It is used in small quantities to make fine furniture and gun stocks, and sold as slabs to make large natural-top tables because of its durability, good working properties and swirling, iridescent figure.
I obtained it through Ryan McIntyre of McIntyre Millwork 314-607-7329. There is quite a story behind it predating the California wine industry. It is absolutely breathtaking as a countertop. . . irresistable to touch!
