Common Uses
Cut, shape, and finish for your specific project. Walnut looks best under clear oil or lacquer. Staining walnut is rarely necessary and usually counterproductive.
Pro Tips
- Finishing lumber in premium species like cherry and walnut is best finished with clear oil or lacquer to showcase the natural colour and grain.
- Apply clear oil or lacquer to showcase the natural chocolate-brown colour. Walnut looks best under clear finish without stain.
- Acclimate lumber in your workspace for 48-72 hours before milling.
