Black Walnut is highly prized for its dark-colored true heartwood. This wood is heavy and strong, yet easily split and worked. Heartwood is a rich chocolate or purplish brown in color, with a dull sheen. Black walnut is normally straight grained and is noted for its beautiful grain character, producing more figure variation than any other wood. Over the years the wood develops a lustrous patina. It is the only dark brown domestic species, so it has a large following of devoted woodworkers, that enjoy its rich color. * Please Note: These are not pre-bored or drilled.
