This Black Walnut plywood is a uniform color with minimal pin knots. It has been slipmatched to minimize the potential for a "barber pole" effect.

Black walnut is characterized by heartwood that varies from dark tan to deep chocolate depending on the amount of exposure to air prior to drying. The grain varies from very straight to interlocked, which produces pronounced figure that may or may not be desirable. Pin knots with small dark centers may be prevalent.

The Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) core of this panel is made in a production process similar to Particleboard (PBC) except that all of wood particles are small and uniform like sawdust. MDF offers great stability and is the least likely to react when subjected to a measurable change in temperature or humidity. It offers a very smooth, void-free surface for veneer faces.

MDF has greater strength and screw holding properties than particleboard and weighs around 100 lbs per 3/4″ panel. It is used in cabinets, furniture, fixtures and molding and is highly recommended for thin panel applications such as door inserts for cabinets and paneling.
