American black walnut is a medium to large hardwood, native to the eastern regions of North America. Its heartwood ranges from a golden to rich chocolate brown color, sometimes with narrow streaks of a darker purplish-brown. It has good nailing and gluing properties and can be stained and polished to an excellent finish. The wood dries slowly and has good dimensional stability when dry. The wood is rated as very resistant to heartwood decay and is one of the most durable (decay resistant) American hardwoods.
