Amrican Walnut

American Walnut is one of the scarcest and most coveted American hardwoods. It is in a class by itself. The sapwood of Walnut is nearly white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark, chocolate brown, often with a purplish cast and darker streaks. The wood is heavy, hard and stiff and with a high shock resistance. It is generally coarse-textured and produces distinctive grain patterns.
