Walnut:
Naturally Elegant with Deep, Warm Beauty
Walnut is prized for its rich, chocolate-brown heartwood, creamy sapwood highlights, and striking grain movement. It offers a natural elegance that requires minimal enhancement—making it a favorite for high-end, statement cabinetry. Walnut's softer texture and open grain allow it to absorb finishes beautifully, though many designers choose to keep it lightly stained or clear-coated to let its inherent color variation and depth take center stage.
This page features Walnut finishes from FinishWorks, selected to preserve the natural beauty of the wood while offering lasting protection. Our hand-finishing process ensures smooth color transitions and a silky feel that machine-applied finishes can't replicate. Walnut is perfect for projects that demand warmth, richness, and character—whether traditional or modern in style.

Recommendation for Designers & Contractors:
- Choose Walnut for upscale cabinetry projects where the natural grain and color of the wood are intended to be the centerpiece.
- It works beautifully in both traditional and modern environments and pairs exceptionally well with matte or satin clear finishes.
REMEMBER - Computer screens and printers will vary color. Stain colors will be influenced by the grain and wood species. Therefore these samples may not be an exact wood grain or stain representation.
