The wood is harvested from Illinois or Wisconsin.

This wood is either all black walnut or a mix of black walnut and some of the lighter walnut wood (often called the sapwood).

“The sapwood is creamy white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark chocolate brown, occasionally with a purplish cast and darker streaks. The wood is generally straight-grained; sometimes with wavy or curly grain that produces an attractive and decorative figure.” – from hardwoodinfo.com
