American Walnut, also known as Black Walnut, is loved for the warmth its dark tones bring to rooms.
The heartwood of American Walnut is chocolate-brown to blackish in color, while its sapwood is a lighter, creamy color. This alteration results in a fair amount of color variation between planks—a look that’s not for everyone but is prized by many for its visual interest and casual genuineness.
Because of its rich natural coloring, American Walnut is a popular choice among homeowners who want a natural look. However, many people choose to stain the wood even darker, adding to its warmth. Stain can also be used to darken the sapwood, if desired, reducing the amount of color variation for those who prefer a more-even look.
