Walnut Wood
Rich, chocolate-brown timber with a fine, rippling figure — prized for its depth and quiet, understated luxury.
Walnut is the connoisseur\'s hardwood: understated, deeply figured, and unmistakably luxurious.
Its colour ranges from pale hazel to dark chocolate, often within a single board, and its grain can carry a fine ripple or curl that catches the light. Walnut works and finishes beautifully, taking a natural oil to a soft lustre that deepens with age.
Why we use walnut
Walnut\'s stability and fine grain make it ideal for precise work — crisp chess pieces, refined edges, and detailed inlay. It pairs especially well with lighter woods such as maple for contrast.
Care
Keep away from direct heat and sunlight and refresh with natural oil periodically. Explore walnut in our chess collection or commission a piece.
