Walnut, also known as American Walnut, Eastern Black Walnut, or Black Walnut has a distinctive grain and rich dark color. Walnut is a durable choice for furniture, but somewhat softer than the other choices, so we don’t recommend it for a surface that will receive significant wear such as a desktop. We do not stain Walnut as its dark color is best showcased in its natural state with our Tung Oil finish.

Color is white to cream to yellow, sometimes with a red cast. Maple is the best choice for gray, red or blue stains as the light wood color highlights the stain. [Click to See Stain Option]

Wormy Maple (aka Ambrosia Maple) shows dramatic markings in the wood caused by Ambrosia Beetles. The beetles bore into the trunk of the tree, bringing with them Ambrosia Fungi, staining the surrounding wood. This striking “wormy” pattern does not affect the final performance of the lumber.
