Starting with a hunk of butternut wood, I carved a set of handmade frames for a pair of custom reading glasses.
This project is just one of many in a collaboration with other makers as part of the Butternut Challenge. Be sure to watch the others here: tinyurl.com/butternutchallenge.

The tight grain tells me that’s old-growth butternut, an excellent hardwood closely related to black walnut. Very slow growing, logging and butternut canker wiped-out the the trees from the era that chunk came from, iirc. I was given an old 1936 upright piano some 20 years ago. In the process of tearing it down and removing veneer (to restore), I found that the entire frame-including the soundboard-was entirely old-growth butternut. Super rare. You’re lucky to have that. And nice job, as usual.

When those lenses both _snapped_ into place, I was literally agape! Congratulations for being the first person ever to give me cause to use that word in a sentence!!!
