Paler sapwood isn&rsquo;t always sharly demarcated from the heartwood. Curly or rippled grain is also seen on some sections.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;&nbsp; Plant breeder Luther Burbank experimented with hybrid walnuts beginning in the 1890s, and cross pollinated the native <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wood-database.com\/claro-walnut\/\">Claro Walnut<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wood-database.com\/english-walnut\/\">English Walnut<\/a>.&nbsp;The resulting hybrid was quite puzzling: the tree grew grew faster than either of the parent species, and also yielded harder and stronger lumber (though unfortunately it didn&rsquo;t produce very many walnuts). Because of these anomalies, Burbank named the hybrid &ldquo;Paradox.&rdquo;&nbsp;The name Bastogne Walnut appears to be a marketing term, and is not commonly used outside of woodworking circles.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\tCourtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wood-database.com\/bastogne-walnut\/\">The Wood Database<\/a><\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/product-category\/back-side-domestic\/bastogne-walnut-os\/","name":"Bastogne Walnut (OS)","slug":"bastogne-walnut-os","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":469,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/469"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
