The walnut tree (other than its walnuts) is favourably known for the beautiful wood it produces which is enriched with a dark chocolate hardwood. The hardwood is most commonly used for its hard, dense properties and tight grained material producing a beautiful smooth surface which polishes to a flawless finish.

When dried using a kiln the wood often adopts a dull brown colour which is mostly found in the furniture it is used to make and air drying tends to produce a rich purplish colour throughout the wood, but in addition, it also ranges from a pale creamy white tone and gets darker as the colour chart moves towards the trees centre.

The ranges of colour that walnut wood produces, means that it can be used to create a huge variety of beautiful furniture, prized for its ability to produce magnificent shapes and perfect curves when being carved. This curving ability and strength allowed for walnut wood products to be produced within the weapons industry during the first world war in which it remains even today one of the more popular choices for shotgun and rifle material.

Walnut wood is also used for making string instruments due to its long durability and rich tones that help to make perfect notes and varied sounds when placed with strings. This of course creates an advantage over its relations such as the Asian species of which could not be used for such products because of its softer, coarser and weaker aspects of the pale material.
