What is Veneer Grade Walnut?
Oct 16, 2025
An architecturally foundational and highly desirable lumber, Walnut stands at the forefront of fine woodworking and interior design. As an exceptionally workable and dimensionally stable species, Walnut’s impact resistance and finishing capabilities yield endless potential applications. Even still, perhaps its most prized characteristic is the color of the heartwood throughout the log. Deep, rich brown heartwood lends timelessness to any project.
