Walnut

At Elephant Timber, we specialise in providing high-quality walnut slabs for a range of woodworking projects. Walnut is known for its rich colour, durability and fine grain, making it a favourite among furniture makers, woodworkers and interior designers.

Whether you are looking to craft a beautiful dining table, a custom walnut slab shelf, or even experimenting with the striking patterns of spalted walnut wood, it offers unmatched versatility and character.

Walnut wood is often regarded as one of the finest hardwoods available. Its deep, chocolate-brown hues, sometimes streaked with purple or grey, give it a luxurious and refined appearance. It also has a smooth, tight grain pattern, which makes it ideal for intricate woodworking projects. 

Walnut is a dense, sturdy wood that resists wear and tear, making it ideal for furniture and high-traffic areas. Despite its density, walnut is relatively easy to work with, whether you are cutting, carving, or turning it. Walnut takes stains, oils and finishes exceptionally well, which allows its natural beauty to shine through. Walnut furniture lasts for generations, often growing more beautiful over time as the wood develops a natural patina.

Because of its strength and beauty, walnut is used in a wide variety of applications including:

• Live edge walnut slabs are commonly used to create high-end furniture, such as dining tables, bed frames, chairs and countertops. 
• It’s fine grain and durability make walnut slabs an excellent choice for custom cabinetry.
• Walnut’s hardness and dark tones make it a popular choice for luxurious hardwood flooring.
• The acoustic properties of walnut make it a preferred wood for guitars and other musical instruments.

At Elephant Timber, we provide walnut slabs in various shapes and sizes. Whether you prefer a smooth, polished finish or something with more rustic character, a walnut furniture can be a stunning addition to any home.

If you are looking for something truly unique, spalted walnut wood offers an eye-catching twist on traditional walnut. Spalting is a natural process that occurs when fungi begin to colonise the wood, creating intricate black lines, streaks and patches. This spalting effect adds an artistic, marbled pattern to the walnut, making it a popular choice for one-of-a-kind furniture.

The dramatic patterns of spalted walnut make it perfect for creating statement pieces like coffee tables or a walnut slab shelf. It can be used for accent walls or custom installations to add a bold, natural element to any room. The irregular grain and patterns of spalted walnut wood make it a favourite for woodturners creating their unique, artistic pieces.

At Elephant Timber, we take pride in offering high-quality walnut slabs that are sustainably sourced and carefully selected for their grain, colour and durability. Each walnut slab we provide is a work of art, whether you are using it to create a table top, cabinet, or walnut slab shelf. We do not always stock Walnut, but we have a wide range of wood species available to choose from.
