Almond wood is very knotty but it has a beautiful figure and sharp contrast between the light colored sapwood and darker heartwood. This wood comes from a friend in Modesto California who planted these trees with his family in 1979. It has been air dried for over one year. Almond wood blanks (1" x 1" x 6") are available for purchase through my eBay store Edible wood. Custom-milled almond wood knife and gun scales, pepper-mill and larger turning blanks are available by email request. Click here to view more varities of fruitwood I mill.
