Descrizione

Trade Names: Walnut Cluster

Similar Woods:—–

Origin:Europe, Asia and North America.

Range: Walnut cluster veneers are those veneers which are obtained from those bottom most parts of Walnut tree
trunks, which partially grow underground.
To obtain this valuable part of these trees the trunks must not be sawn above the ground but have to be dug out.
The produced veneers have a particularly distinct, expressive figuring which gains a great deal of life from
the many cross figures and mottling but still does not result in a burly texture.

Uses: High quality architectural woodwork, as solid wood for gearshift knobs and high quality gunstocks.

Properties: Dark brown choice wood, traditional furniture wood.
Frequently with fiddleback.

Machining:There is no difficulty to working with all hand and machine tools. Walnut is an excellent wood for molding.

Seasoning: To prevent any possible damage to cells the wood should be dried very slowly. It is slightly prone to checking
and warping.

Finishing: The very smooth surface takes all stains well, particularly water and nitro stains. The wood polishes well when
fillers are used.

Jointing: Joints using screws, nails and glues are easy to produce and have normal tensile strength.
However, alkaline glues can cause reaction stains.
