American Walnut Crown Cut

Juglans Nigra L.

The color of the sapwood varies from white to yellowish brown, and the heartwood is a reddish brown or chocolate color. Commercially, sapwood has generally been darkened by steam treatments or staining to resemble the color of heartwood. Sometimes the wood has violet tonalities. The sapwood is clearly differentiated. The growth rings and the differentiation of earlywood from latewood are immediately noticeable. The wood is generally straight-grained, although it can be wavygrained. The texture of the grain is open (coarse-grained).
