Black Walnut

Black walnut is a tough hardwood of medium density that is normally straight grained and easy to machine. It has sapwood that is nearly white and heartwood that is light to dark chocolate brown. Because black walnut is desired for its heartwood, we steam it to encourage even color between the heartwood and sapwood. It is often used for high-end furniture, decorative panels, gunstocks, cabinets, and interior woodwork.
