WALNUT
Walnut is a tough hardwood of medium density, with moderate bending and crushing strengths and low stiffness. It has a good steam-bending classification. The sapwood of walnut is creamy white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark chocolate brown, occasionally with a purplish cast and darker streaks. The wood develops a rich patina that grows more lustrous with age. The wood is generally straight-grained, but sometimes with wavy or curly grain that produces an attractive and decorative figure. This species produces a greater variety of figure types than any other.

WHITE OAK
This specie of Oak is also hard and heavy with medium bending and crushing strength, low in stiffness and very good in steam bending with great wear-resistance. The sapwood is light-colored and the heartwood is light to dark brown, highly figured straight grain with a medium to coarse texture and longer rays than red oak. More difficult to work and harder to find in widths, white oak is nonetheless popular for us in furniture, flooring, architectural millwork and mouldings, stair treads, doors, kitchen cabinets, and paneling.
