DistributionCalifornia
Bastogne Walnut colour, grain, and figure
The heartwood ranges from a paler golden yellow through reddish brown, at times with streaks of darker brown or even nearly black. The paler sapwood does not always have a sharp boundary with the heartwood.
The grain is typically straight but may be irregular. The texture is medium and the natural luster is moderate.
Working notes
It is easy to work as long as the grain stays straight and regular. Surfacing irregular or figured pieces can lead to tearout in the planer.
Black and English Walnut, both in the Juglans genus, are known sensitizers, and similar allergic reactions are probably to be expected from this wood.
Bastogne Walnut should be sold by project fit: colour, workability, durability, and the format the customer actually needs.

Use caution
Avoid specifying it by name alone; confirm board size, moisture, colour, figure, and the project environment before buying.
Finish strategy
Test finishes on offcuts first, especially when colour, blotching, outdoor exposure, or grain filling matters.
Buying note
Choose boards, slabs, plywood, blanks, or posts based on the project rather than species name alone.
