Working qualities

Black Walnut is easy to work and can be stained and polished to an exceptional finish with its particularly beautiful grain patterning. Heartwood colour is rich dark brown to purplish-black, with sapwood a pale yellowish-brown. The grading rules allow for more knots and defects than other timbers, something to consider with regards to wastage.
