American Black Walnut
American Black Walnut is a mid to deep greyish brown in colour, occasionally with a purplish hue. The grain is usually fairly straight unless figured, and the timber is easy to work taking a high finish. Occasional knots and some sapwood will usually be present but the very high grade we import, has considerably less of these features than other productions imported in to the UK. We also import Prime European grown Black Walnut boules.
