Walnut
Latin: Juglans nigra Origin: Easter USA
Walnut heartwood is a rich dark brown to purplish-black, mostly straight grained, but with wavy or curly grain occasionally present. The texture is rather coarse. Walnut works with hand or machine tools without difficulty, but with a moderate blunting effect on cutting edges. Holds nails or screws well, glues satisfactorily, and polishes to a high finish.
Our Walnut is a very high grade, with minimal sap or defects. We carry a variety of sizes in turning stock, lumber and live edge slabs as well as thick slabs for mantles
