You Need to Know About Tropical Walnut Lumber

Nice, thanks.

Sources???

I would like to know the name of the oil you used and, was it a clear oil? Thanks!

How does the density compare to black walnut? Looks great!

Beautiful table! I have used this in a few projects, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Chocolate brown, and very easy to work. Peruvian Walnut is another common name for it.

How is it to work with hand tools? I don't have many power tools so I have to use handplanes for shaping.

So juglans tropica is endangered, and has seen a 50% reduction in population over the past 3 generations, what are you guys doing to ensure that the wood you source is harvested sustainably?

A lot of tropical woods can have a high silica content that will dull your tools quicker. Does this one have that issue?

Did anyone else hear Mark's wife yell, "MARK !! Get a coaster !!" lol

It's not nearly as rigid as Black Walnut (i.e the deflection). You could make a guitar neck from Black Walnut, but Peruvian Walnut would flex too much.

I love the swirl and high figure of walnut, it’s the reason I go for it. I’d try trop walnut though, would be great for certain projects.

Nice wood, will add that to my list.

Nice 🥲

I love the simple and modern design. Can you post a link to the design and measurements of the 3 legged base?

Beautiful finish. What finish did you use?

Looks beautiful thanks for sharing

Does the color fade resistant?

What’s the difference between Peruvian Walnut and this new Tropical Walnut?

This particular tree is endangered.

I have worked several thousand board feet of this wood over the past 35 years and it is right there with genuine mahogany as my favorite.

Which do you prefer, clean grain or knots?
