It remains America's finest hardwood due to its durability, chocolate brown color, workability, and highly figured grain pattern.

Highly figured walnuts create some of the most beautiful tables in the world.

Claro walnut, grown in Northern California, stands out for its unique grain and color spectrum. Its chocolate brown hue often shows hints of purple, orange, and black. Large claro walnut slabs are rare and command a premium price. Custom claro walnut tables bring a timeless Americana feel to any residential or commercial space.
