American Walnut (Juglans nigra) is a hardwood species native to eastern North America, primarily found in the central and eastern United States and parts of southern Canada. This tree species typically grows in mixed hardwood forests and is valued for its rich, dark brown heartwood, which often features lighter streaks and a lustrous grain pattern.

Renowned for its exceptional durability and workability, American Walnut possesses desirable physical properties such as moderate density, excellent dimensional stability, and ease of machining, carving, and finishing. Its heartwood is highly resistant to decay and insect damage, making it a popular choice for high-quality projects.
