Note: Wood of the species Juglans regia, native to the Himalayas, Iran, Lebanon, Asia Minor, and Greece. It was introduced into Britain in the mid-15th century. It has a uniform, deep brown color with a medium texture and a close, straight grain. It varies considerably in color the sapwood being pale straw with grayish-brown heartwood with infiltrations of coloring producing a darker-colored streaky appearance. It is strong but easy to work and polishes to a high gloss. It is used for furniture, veneers, cabinets, paneling, gun stocks. Its burls are especially prized in the furniture trade. For the darker wood from the species Junglans nigra found in the eastern United States, use "black walnut." |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Hout van de boom behorende tot de soort Juglans regia, inheems in het Himalayagebied, Iran, Libanon, Klein-Azië en Griekenland. De boom werd rond het midden van de 15de eeuw in Groot-Brittannië ingevoerd. De kleurverschillen zijn groot, met spint dat een lichte strokleur heeft en grijsbruin kernhout, terwijl gekleurd infiltraat voor een donkerkleurig dooraderd effect zorgt. Het hout wordt gebruikt voor meubels en kabinetten. Gebruik 'Amerikaans notenhout' voor het donkerdere hout van de soort Junglans nigra die in het oosten van de Verenigde Staten voorkomt. |
