Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Walnut is a cornerstone of luxury woodworking, prized for its deep tones, diverse grain patterns, and exceptional finishing qualities. While American Black Walnut remains the industry standard for domestic elegance, Oakwood Veneer offers a comprehensive global collection of Walnut species to suit any architectural or creative vision.
Beyond our domestic stock, we provide specialized Walnut veneers sourced from around the world, each offering unique color profiles and figure:
American Black Walnut: The classic domestic choice with rich chocolate tones and elegant cathedrals.
Peruvian Walnut: Known for its deep, dark, and exceptionally uniform "coffee" color.
French Walnut: Highly figured with a sophisticated, lighter grey-brown palette typical of European fine furniture.
Brazilian Walnut (Imbuia): Offers a variegated look with rich olive and deep brown streaks.
Argentine Walnut: A durable and striking alternative with unique grain characteristics.
Native to the Eastern United States and Ontario, Canada, Black Walnut is the only domestic dark brown wood species in North America.
Grain & Aesthetics: American Black Walnut veneer features a smooth, tight grain. Flat Cut (Plain Sliced) sheets often display the iconic "cathedral" look. We carefully clip the lighter sapwood to ensure a uniform brown tone across our sheets, providing woodworkers with a consistent look that avoids the unpredictable knots found in solid lumber. For more dramatic applications, our Walnut Burls and Figures exhibit incredible movement, making them ideal for high-end instruments and statement furniture.
The Aging Process: Over time, Black Walnut develops a fine patina, lightening slightly. This subtle effect can be preserved or enhanced using quality sealants and oils, which further bring out the depth of the grain.
All of our Walnut veneer sheets—regardless of species—are available with several high-performance backers to ensure your project's success:
10-Mil & 22.2-Mil BFV (Bubble-Free): Perfect for standard and high-traffic surfaces.
WOW (Wood on Wood) & PSA (Peel and Stick): For premium stability or easy on-site application.
Standard & Oversized Sheets:
Vertical Grain: 4’x8, 4’x10’, 4’x12’ and 4’ x 14’.
Crossgrain: 5’x8’, 5’x10’, 5’x12’, 8’x4’, 10’x4’, and 12’x4’.
Using walnut wood veneer sheets is an environmentally responsible way to work with this precious hardwood. Because a single tree can produce significantly more square footage of veneer than solid boards, your choice helps extend the life of these majestic forests.
Other Names: Eastern Black Walnut, Virginia Walnut, Canadian Walnut, or Black Hickory.
