Hi Johnny! I think you and I have a little different idea of sapwood! I have seen walnut blanks that are both, or half & half, dark heartwood and light sapwood....the term sapwood when used in this instance doesn't denote any (or very little) difference in density....just difference in color....as opposed with the term sapwood denoting soft or spongy wood.....I don't think they used a sub quality wood regardless of color or type!....if I have been misleading in this discription, I apoligize! till...later...G.T.
