Walnut is a strong, stable American hardwood known for wide color variation. It ranges in color from creamy white to a medium purplish brown. Walnut cabinetry will have both flowing grain and straight grain. This combination is a treasured characteristic of Walnut, and is showcased when Walnut is finished in its inherent state . However, Walnut takes all available stains well. Walnut is a favorite choice for furniture and furniture grade cabinetry, such as Ultimo Cabinetry. Walnut is a premium wood species and is highly desirable for high-end cabinetry projects. Your Ultimo Cabinetry designer will always recommend you select its inherent state if your goal is to experience the richest, fullest experience that Walnut can provide.
