Queensland Walnut colour, grain, and figure
Colour spans medium pinkish brown through dark brown, sometimes streaked in pink, greenish grey or black.
Usually the grain is interlocked and often wavy. The texture is medium, the natural luster is moderate, and the open pores are shallow.
Working notes
Two things can cause trouble. Interlocked grain makes planing difficult, and its silica content is reported at 0.19% to 1.08%, which blunts cutting edges heavily. Otherwise it takes glue, stain and finish well.
Apart from the usual health risks of any wood dust, no other reactions have been linked to Queensland Walnut.
Queensland 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.
