• Our full stave worktops are constructed from wide planks of Walnut that run the full length of the worktop to ensure maximum durability and strength throughout years of constant use.

• Each stave is a random width but is generally between 120mm - 200mm wide.

• Walnut panels and worktops are sanded to a 120-grit finish.

American Black Walnut  

American Black Walnut is used in very high-end joinery and furniture.

Name:

Juglans nigra

Origin:

Eastern United States

Colour:

Heartwood can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown streaks. The colour can sometimes have a grey, purple, or reddish cast. Sapwood is pale yellow-grey to nearly white. Figured grain patterns such as curl, crotch, and burl are also seen.

Grain:

The grain is usually straight but can be irregular. Has a medium texture and moderate natural lustre.

Rot Resistance:

Black Walnut is rated as very durable in terms of decay resistance, though it is susceptible to insect attack.

Typical Applications:

Furniture, cabinetry, gunstocks, interior panelling, veneer, turned items, and other small wooden objects and novelties.

Density:

660 kg/m3 average

Workability:

Typically easy to work provided the grain is straight and regular. Planer tear-out can sometimes be a problem when surfacing pieces with irregular or figured grain. Glues, stains, and finishes well, (though walnut is rarely stained). Responds well to steam bending.
