Want to know more about Ohio Hardwoods - Walnut

We could easily write a book, well, maybe a long article, on the different characteristics of our native hardwoods. So….let’s start out with an easily identifiable wood; WALNUT. Shown below are several samples of Walnut. The first thing you will notice is it’s dark color. It makes beautiful furniture. It’s harvested locally which makes it a good environmental choice. It’s wood density is around 640-700, which definitely puts it in the hardwood category. If choosing Walnut you should be aware that it tends to show cuts on it’s surface more than other woods just because it is so dark. That’s why you usually don’t see it used for cutting boards. Using Live Edge Slabs of Walnut for tabletops is one of it’s most popular uses.
