About the Timber
It would be hard to overstate Black Walnut’s popularity among woodworkers. Its working characteristics coupled with its rich brown coloration puts the wood in a class by itself. The heartwood can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown streaks. The sapwood is pale yellow-grey to nearly white. The grain is usually straight but can be irregular with some nice patterns formed and occasionally spalted.
Black Walnut is normally easy to work provided the grain is straight and regular. It machines well and also finishes well. It has a number of uses including furniture, cabinetry, gunstocks, interior panelling and turned items to name a few.
