Click on the turning stock link.
Onur at Turkish Walnut is a gentleman.
I can't tell you if they're dealing in regular European walnut (Juglans regia) or the Circassian variation of the same species. Regardless, it's fine stuff.
Cook Woods is another great source for fine walnut, but they deal in Claro and Claro-European hybrids (as well as dozens of other species of wood).
