The Walnut Tree: An Overview
There are 21 different species of walnut trees, and they can be found in numerous locations across the globe. A part of the plant genus juglans, walnut trees grow in Japan, parts of Europe, Argentina, parts of Canada and across California in the western United States. It is often used to construct furniture, cabinets, paneling, flooring, firearm components, and, because of its particularly strong acoustic capabilities, it is also often used in the construction of musical instruments.
Why Walnut Wood is Ideal for Staircases
There are many reasons, in addition to its widespread availability, why walnut wood is frequently a woodworker’s first choice. In addition to the fact that it boasts sap pockets, making it particularly prone to a strong shine, its rich, earthy coloring means that it doesn’t necessarily require additional staining to enhance its appearance in homes. Additionally, as mentioned, walnut is commonly used in the construction of musical instruments because of its acoustic qualities, and it can therefore also enhance the acoustics inside of a home. Additionally, walnut wood is malleable and particularly easy to work with, making it ideal for ornate staircase hand railings or balusters. It is also shock-resistant in nature, further enhancing its appeal as a strong choice for modern builders and homeowners.
American homeowners seeking a long-lasting, high-performing and aesthetically pleasing wood for their staircases need look no further than walnut, which is affordable and readily available for purchase throughout the United States.
