There are a few places that sell cherry wood in the North East, and some
educate people on what to do with it. Walker’s sawmill is one of those
places that both knows wood and how to work with it, as well as sell it.
The wood gathered at Walker's Sawmill are from trees that have fallen
on
their own. They are gathered throughout the Upper Hudson Valley. Over
the years John Walker has developed a keen eye for the unusual wood with
many natural characteristics that add a beautiful touch to the wood
that he mills. That beauty is passed on to the objects made from his
milled woods. The artistry of milling wood is accomplished on
100-year-old machines. If ever there was a definition for sustainable
wood crafting it is Walker's Sawmill.
