Elevate your build with our 1.75" Black Walnut Slabs. Deep brown heartwood, lively grain, and both edges left natural. Each slab is kiln-dried, and planed smooth for a premium, ready-to-work canvas.
Additional sanding may be required depending on preference.

*Please note*
These pieces may or may not contain the bark in-tact on the live edges. Bark on the live edges becomes brittle during the drying process and often falls off during handling and processing of these boards.

What you’ll receive
Thickness: ~1.75" thick, skip planed, may have occasional rough patches
Edges: 2 natural live edges; No glue ups! 1 true piece
Size options: length 12–54"; width brackets 8–10", 10–12", 12–14"
Please message us if you are looking for a different size!

Why Walnut (and why ours)
-Iconic dark heartwood with creamy sap accents and dramatic cathedrals
-Finishes to extraordinary depth with oil or hard wax; showpiece-grade when lit well
-Select stock chosen for stable, attractive live-edge profiles

Tolerances & character:
±1" on length/width; natural edge varies by design (that’s the beauty)
Expect tasteful features: feathering, curl, micro checks, knots or cracks

Finishing & build notes:
Hard wax oil or oil-poly for high contrast and hand-rubbed depth
Coffee/side tables: mount to a rigid base; allow seasonal movement with slotted fasteners
Floating shelves/mantels: use heavy-duty brackets into studs; test fit before final finish

Every slab is unique - photos are representative. We’ll hand-select within your chosen bracket for grain, color, and edge character that read premium.

Absolutely thrilled with this purchase! I bought a 1.75" thick walnut plank for a small outdoor side table, and this was not my first purchase from this wood shop.

The plank arrived quickly and was extremely well packaged. The quality exceeded my expectations—there was practically no checking or cracking. I followed the seller’s recommendation and let the wood acclimate for six days before turning it into a table.

The seller was incredibly easy to work with and happily accommodated all of my requests. I highly recommend this shop and look forward to purchasing more beautiful wood from them in the future!

Arrived yesterday, I just removed the well package piece to take a look. I have recently ordered black walnut from Black Sheep; I had no doubts about this piece or any other future orders. Very well cut and finish. Will make and excellent side tabletop!

This board is just about flawless. I've made a ton of cutting boards and charcuterie boards over the years, and most wood needs a lot of epoxy to fill holes and cracks and prepare the board for a long life in the kitchen. This board will need hardly any work before I can get busy shaping it and then staining it. GREAT.

Beautiful slab that was packaged well and
was as described.

As stated in the description, some of the bark may naturally come off during shipping, but it is very easy to glue back on. I love this slab. I'm using it as a very large charcuterie board.
