Walnut Thin Board | 3/8" × 3-7/8" × 25"

A single walnut thin board, precision-dimensioned for detail work and smaller-scale projects. American black walnut is the benchmark hardwood for a reason - its warm chocolate-brown color, fine straight grain, and exceptional workability make it the first choice for craftspeople who want a species that performs as well as it looks.

Wood Characteristics

• Rich chocolate-brown heartwood, often with subtle purple or gray undertones
• Straight to slightly wavy grain with a medium texture and natural luster
• Moderately hard and dense - durable without being punishing to work
• Cuts, carves, and sands beautifully; one of the most forgiving hardwoods to work by hand or machine
• Finishes exceptionally well - oils, lacquers, and wax all enhance the natural depth of color

Popular Uses

• Knife & Tool Handles - A classic handle material trusted by knifemakers for generations - the density, grip, and rich color are hard to beat
• Small Boxes & Jewelry Cases - Walnut’s warm tones and fine grain make it a natural fit for box sides, lids, and decorative panels; pairs beautifully with maple or cherry
• Inlay & Accent Work - Ideal for dark accent strips in cutting boards, furniture inlay banding, and marquetry where a refined, timeless contrast is the goal

Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Color, figure, and exact dimensions will vary. Sapwood (lighter cream-colored wood) may be present on some pieces.
