DOMESTIC HARDWOODS
Black Walnut
Appearance: Black Walnut can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with dark brown streaks. This is our best seller
Texture: This wood species has a medium texture and moderate natural luster.
Where We Source It From: Primarily Minnesota and Wisconsin, but when necessary we’ll bring it in from the far reaches of middle America, including Missouri and Pennsylvania.
Care: Use items like tablecloths, place mats, and coasters to prevent scratching on your Black Walnut Table. Always use a microfiber cloth when dry dusting, and lift objects such as frames and vases out of the way to properly clean. Don’t place hot cups or dishes directly on the table, as it can discolor lacquers or resin finishes.
