About Black Walnut

Black walnut is one of the most prized North American hardwoods known for its deep, chocolate-brown heartwood, beautiful grain patterns, and outstanding performance in fine woodworking.

Unmatched Beauty

Black walnut is renowned for its striking color variation, swirling grain, and ability to develop a richer tone over time. It brings a warm, luxurious look to any project.

Exceptional Durability

Walnut is a dense hardwood that resists warping and holds its shape well, making it suitable for structural uses as well as decorative applications.

Superior Workability

Despite its density, black walnut cuts, carves, sands, and finishes incredibly well. It accepts oils and clear finishes beautifully, allowing the natural grain to shine.

High-Value Hardwood

Because of its rarity and premium appearance, walnut is often chosen for heirloom-quality crafts, custom woodworking, and specialty builds.
