Walnut hardwood is a favorite among carvers not only because of its durability, but also because of the striking difference in colour between heartwood and sapwood. Walnut is undoubtedly one of the most popular wood species in North America, as it’s easy to be amazed by the intricate grain structure, rich aroma, and wide range of colours it provides.

Done carving and ready to finish? Our Livos Natural Oil Finish works wonders for brushing on, or dipping more intricate pieces when ensuring complete coverage for all nooks and crannies. This finish can be applied in multiple coats without sanding your delicate carving, and provides exceptional shine and protection.
If you’re carving something for use with food - such as a spoon or other utensil - we recommend our all-natural Honey Bee’s Natural Wood Cream.
