The most common walnut are black walnut, gold walnut and red walnut. The same black walnut also has different producing areas. There are some walnut trees in China, but they are not as good as those in other areas and the price will be much cheaper. Walnut can be processed by wood grinder machine and small polishing machine.

 

The raw materials of black walnut furniture on the market are mostly from the United States, mainly from North America. American black walnut furniture can reflect a low-key noble, introverted luxury. And because black walnut is an endangered tree species in the United States, the monthly export limit will not exceed 2000 cubic meters and the price is also rising year by year. The price of raw materials per cubic meter alone has exceeded 10000, which leads to the high price of black walnut furniture.
