As the only dark wood native to North America, American walnut is well-known for its deep chocolate or coffee color. Surprisingly, it is only the center of the tree (known as the heartwood) that features the deep tones that are so familiar, and can also contain purple, gray, or reddish hues. The outermost part of the tree (the sapwood) is usually a pale cream color.
The American black walnut (also called the Eastern black walnut) is most often used for woodworking because it’s easy to work with for carving and has good bending qualities. Walnut is often used for formal furniture and musical instruments due to its stately looks, and these decorative wall panels can be used to upgrade any space. Custom-made millwork allows walnut wood to be used for many home improvements as trim, moulding, wall paneling, crown moldings, etc.
Walnut wood is typically straight-grained, but can sometimes have waves or curls which enhances the character of the wall panels. Our walnut wood wall panels are carefully crafted to showcase the beauty of the grain and bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Whether you panel entire walls or use it for smaller accents, walnut is a lovely addition to any home or business.
