A quintessential American hardwood, Black Walnut is well-known for its rich color and superior workability. Sourced primarily from the Midwestern United States, its heartwood offers a classic palette ranging from a lighter pale brown to a deep, chocolate brown, occasionally featuring hints of purple. The grain is typically straight and open, giving the wood a fine texture that is highly prized in fine woodworking and custom craftsmanship.
