Walnut is hard, dense, tight-grained wood and polishes to a very smooth finish. The color ranges from creamy white in the sapwood to a dark chocolate color in the heartwood. When kiln-dried, walnut wood tends toward a dull brown color, but when air-dried can become a rich purplish-brown. Because of its color, hardness, and grain, it is a prized wood, making it perfect for the barista work area.
The wood is sourced from FSC certified producers. This certification ensures that these products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
