Physical Characteristics

American Black Walnut is a straight-grained, medium density hardwood with beautiful dark red heartwood and steamed dark sapwood. It is distinct from other walnuts found in the American west and south-central states. Our Black Walnut hardwood comes from North Central Ohio, where the wood is especially prized for its color and working properties. It machines and bends well and can be polished or stained to an exceptional finish. Applications for Black Walnut lumber include furniture, paneling, cabinets, doors, paddles, coffins, flooring, and rifle stock.
