Types of walnut wood
The first thing we should know about walnut wood is that there is not only one species, currently there are more than 20 types of walnut wood marketed with different origins and particular characteristics each one of them. We are going to talk about three of the most demanded species:- Spanish or European walnut wood
- American walnut wood
- the tropical walnut, typical of Central America and the north of South America.
In spite of being known as Spanish or European walnut, the first thing to know about this species is that it is a tree originating in Asia, some authors place its origin in Persia while others do so in China or Japan. The walnut is a very corpulent tree whose trunks can reach two metres in circumference diameter and five metres in length, with a total height of around 20-25 metres, and which can live for 200-300 years. It is a slow-growing tree, which, together with the quality of its wood, gives it a high price, in accordance with its quality. Its shape is very curious, with a very wide crown composed by strong and wide branches that look like small versions of these trees by themselves.
Due to its beauty and characteristics, it is a wood that is highly appreciated for carpenters. Its touch, once worked, is so soft and smooth that it could be compared to silk.
Its colour combines a dance of greyish yellows and dark browns with shades of chocolate or brown, depending on the tree's origin and growing conditions, giving it a unique beauty, topped with black veins that make it even more eye-catching.
If you are looking to raise the level of your home or business premises, a European walnut floor will be your greatest ally. Don't be afraid of the darkness they bring, as they can be perfectly combined with furniture or pieces in light tones that bring light and spaciousness to the composition.
American Walnut. Continuity and elegance
American Walnut and other tropical species shows wood with more neutral and darker tones than the previous one, showing a mixture of brownish to reddish yellows with slightly darker veins within the same chromatic ranges. Its veins are also more homogeneous than those of the previous one with continuous and straight lines, slightly darker in the tropical wood.
Both woods are stable to work with and of very high quality. Offering elegant and exclusive designs, but with a higher price than other woods due to its quality.
