Description
English Walnut (*Juglans regia*), also known as European Walnut, is a highly sought-after hardwood prized for its rich colour, fine grain, and versatility. The heartwood ranges from light to dark brown, often with hints of purple or grey, and may feature striking grain patterns such as swirls, curls, or burls. Its sapwood is pale cream to light yellow, creating a beautiful contrast.
Renowned for its workability, English Walnut is relatively easy to machine, carve, and finish, making it a favourite for fine furniture, cabinetry, veneers, gunstocks, and turned objects. It polishes to a smooth, lustrous finish that highlights its natural beauty. Additionally, its moderate density and stability ensure durability while resisting warping and shrinking.
English Walnut’s elegant appearance and tactile qualities make it a preferred choice for high-end woodworking projects. Its rarity and value are often enhanced when sourced sustainably, ensuring the preservation of this timeless and luxurious material for future generations.
