Walnut is a generally straight-grained, but
sometimes wavy or curly grain that produces an
attractive and decorative figure. It works easily
with hand and machine tools, and nails, screws and
glues well. It holds paint and stain very well for
an exceptional finish and is readily polished. It
dries slowly, and care is needed to avoid kiln
degrade.
