Abstract	Black walnut is one of America's most valuable tree species. It has been prized since colonial times for furniture, interior finish, and gunstocks. Its nuts have a distinctive flavor that is relished by many, although today the shells are as valuable as the nuts for use as abra sives. The decay-resistant heartwood is chocolate brown and occasionally has darker, sometimes purplish streaks. The sapwood is almost white. It is straight grained, strong, hard, heavy, stiff, easily worked with tools, and stays in place after seasoning. Because of heavy use and wasteful cutting over the years, choice black walnut trees have become scarce, and the price of logs has skyrocketed. High prices have stimulated planting and culture of walnut seedlings by small nonindustrial landowners.
