Description
American Black Walnut – Premium Boutique Hardwood from the USA
Overview
American Black Walnut is a highly sought-after boutique timber imported from the United States, prized for its rich chocolate-brown heartwood contrasted by a clear, pale sapwood. This natural two-tone effect makes it one of the most visually striking and versatile hardwoods available to Australian woodworkers.
Supplied in rough sawn form, the timber is presented exactly as cut from the log, giving you maximum material for machining to your preferred finish.
Colour and Appearance
-
Heartwood: Deep, warm chocolate brown.
-
Sapwood: Cream to light tan, offering strong natural contrast against the darker heartwood.
-
Grain: Generally straight, with occasional waves or mild figure for extra visual appeal.
-
Texture: Fine and even, producing a smooth, lustrous surface when polished.
Workability and Uses
American Black Walnut is stable, easy to work with both hand and machine tools, and takes oil, stain, or polish beautifully. It is renowned for its great balance of strength and workability, making it ideal for a wide array of projects, including:
-
Woodturning and woodcarving
-
Box-making and custom cabinetry
-
Fine joinery and furniture making
-
Decorative accents and feature panels
