Walnut Black Hardwood Sample (1/2"x3"x6")

Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.

Why Choose Walnut?
One of the most enjoyed American hardwoods for its fine-yet-open grain, unique patterns, and bold dark color. Walnut is easy to cut, shape and sand, and the wood takes on an amazing look with a clear finish.

What Size Is This?
Thickness 1/2" (≈ 1/2" approx)
Width 3"
Length 6"
Grade Samples are milled on all sides, cut square and sanded; wood is a product of nature with inconsistencies from piece to piece. Use species samples as a guide, not a perfect representation.
Approximated, actual size may vary +/- 1/8"

Black Walnut sample
I ordered a sample to see if it would work to replace a small piece that had fallen off of a 60 year old dresser. The sample did not have the exact grain I was looking for, but the sample was high quality and the delivery and service from Woodworkers Source was excellent and exactly as advertised. I will use them again!

Walnut Order Review
I needed two small pieces of Walnut for a project, not umpteen board feet, and the wood sent by Woodworkers Source fit the bill in terms of amount needed and quality. Thank you.
