Walnut
Walnut boards are typically medium to dark brown in color, with a straight grain pattern that can sometimes feature striking figure such as burl, crotch, or flame. The wood has a fine, uniform texture with a moderate natural luster that gives it an elegant appearance. The heartwood of the Walnut tree is typically darker than the sapwood, which is often a pale yellow color.
Walnut is known for its excellent stability, strength, and workability, which makes it a popular choice for fine furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and decorative woodworking. The wood is relatively hard and dense, and has a rich, warm tone that ages beautifully over time. It also takes stains and finishes well, and has a smooth, silky feel when sanded and finished properly.
