Solid Natural Black Walnut

the black walnut, Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to central and eastern North America, growing mostly in riparian zones. It is cultivated for its attractive timber, which is hard, dense, tight-grained and polishes to a very smooth finish, and also for its seeds (nuts) which have a distinctive and desirable taste. The color is dark chocolate or similar in the heartwood changing by a sharp boundary to creamy white in the sapwood. When kiln-dried, walnut wood tends toward a dull brown color, but when air-dried can become a rich purplish-brown. Because of its color, hardness and grain, it is a prized furniture and carving wood.
