black walnut
Prized furniture timber
Black walnut is a North American hardwood tree valued for its dark, richly grained wood and edible nuts.
The wood is prized for furniture and gunstocks.
The nuts have an intense, distinctive flavor but are notoriously difficult to crack.
Black walnut hulls stain anything they touch a deep brown: My hands were black from shelling walnuts.
