Goliath Hardwoods
Black Walnut
$8.43
Black Walnut is America's premier cabinet and furniture wood — rich chocolate-brown heartwood with a straight, open grain that machines, carves, and finishes beautifully. Its color deepens with age, making it a favorite for heirloom pieces. Heartwood ranges from light brown to dark chocolate with occasional purple or gray streaks. Sapwood is pale yellow-gray and typically excluded from fine work.
