The Black Tiger Model (Limited Edition Series) from Ken Smith and to built this model we purchased dozens of Black Walnut trees (logs) over the past few years. Only about 1% of Walnut Lumber has figured sections (Black Walnut is usually unfigured). On occasion, a piece is discovered with Rare Crotch Feather, Circular Grain, Criss/Cross Figure, or a Flame Pattern. Ken has "cherry picked" pieces of this rare Figured Walnut to make this special model. The enhanced beauty, construction and tone is a perfect match for this rare Limited Edition Model.
