Most people are familiar with Walnut Veneer and Walnut Burl Veneer. But did you know that Walnut comes in several different varieties from various parts of the globe? Be sure to check out Australian, Brazilian, French, and Peruvian Walnut Veneer as well as Rustic and Figured Walnut.
Peruvian Walnut Veneer: This is a darker reddish-brown wood (on your left) with black grain stripes that can either be straight or wavy. Like other members of the family, Peruvian walnut is often used for furniture, cabinets, musical instruments, and marquetry.
French Walnut Veneer: This is also called Italian, English, or Persian Walnut depending on where it originated. The wood is dark brown with irregular zig-zag smoky black streaks over the top. It also is used for furniture and cabinets, but also for plywood faces,
Brazilian Walnut Veneer: This is a warm yellow toned wood that is somewhat rustic in appearance due to its miniature knots and contrasting two-toned grain. The species is also known as Imbuya Veneer.
Australian Walnut Veneer: This wood is closer to standard walnut in appearance, but has darker stripes, a reddish hue, and a hint of figure. It is also known as
Orientalwood Veneer,
Paldao Veneer, and Queensland Walnut. This is the only wood on this list that is not a true walnut species.
Rustic Walnut Veneer: Rustic Planked Walnut is a more modern looking version of your standard rustic veneers. Knots are generally subdued or non-existant, the two-tone nature is less prominent, and the grain is closer to a standard flat cut. This may be the case because Walnut is a hardwood and not a softwood veneer.
