American Walnut

Lumber Details:

• Texture: Usually coarse, but uniform
• Luster: Somewhat dull, but develops a lustrous patina after many years in use
• Odor: Emits a mild, sweet odor reminiscent of cocoa
• Movement: Dimensionally stable after seasoning. Absorbs and releases moisture more slowly than most woods
• Natural Durability: Resistance to insects and fungi is very good
• Working characteristics: Works extremely well with hand tools
• Steam Bending: Steam bends well. (Roughly 78% of steam bended pieces survive without cracking)
• Strength: The wood is strong and is able to withstand extra weight with little deflection or bending
