Walnut grows in the Eastern United States and Southern Canada. The sapwood is yellowish-brown and will darken when steamed while the heartwood is brown to a rich chocolate color. The grain is straight, sometimes curly, and is medium in texture. Walnut is heavy, hard, strong, and durable. Sapwood is only a defect in “A” face veneer plywood, while the other grades do allow sapwood. The machining and finishing properties are excellent.
