Default Is This a Walnut Tree or a Trick?
This picture is an ideal spread for the forum world. So what do you think? Photoshop, or real? Your input is appreciated. If it is real, it is the largest slice out of a beautiful walnut tree that I have ever seen, or imagined.

you would need a heck of a lathe for something like that.

I have been aroud walnut trees before , and I dont think they get quite that large, probably not even half that, its either some other kind of wood or that picture has been doctored.

it's probably a tropical tree like wenge or rosewood maybe cocobolo or something. I'm not sure which wood but some of those tropical trees get Ginormous

A product of Photoshop. Enlarge the pic and you all will see why. The grain is extremely large, the loose dirt at the bottom is not the same as the surrounding, etc.
