Walnut: a beautiful material with a characteristic, warm appearance
In addition to oak, we also offer walnut. This type of wood is known for its warm color and classic look. Thanks to its softness, walnut is a perfect material for crafting tables. The walnut used by Table du Sud is American walnut, which, just like the oak beams, is delivered to our workshop and then used to create the most beautiful dining tables.
On this page, you'll find all the information about our walnut. Let yourself be inspired by this beautiful type of wood and discover if it’s the perfect material for your next piece of furniture.



Properties of Walnut
The walnut tables are finished smooth as standard, for an elegant appearance.
A transparent, scratch-resistant lacquer preserves the warm color of the walnut and also protects against rings and stains.
Walnut dining tables have a tabletop thickness of 4 cm, which you can give an extra unique touch by choosing a special edge finish. For example, a beveled edge creates a more modern look.
Walnut is, in some ways, a bit more sensitive than oak: it is prone to discoloration when exposed to sunlight and is naturally somewhat softer, which means scratches may appear more easily on the surface.
Behavior & Maintenance
Each piece of wood is unique in its grain, texture, and color. Cracks, small holes, irregularities, and knots are natural characteristics of the wood. These are not flaws, but specific traits the wood has acquired in nature. They give each piece of furniture its own character and make it truly one of a kind.
Behavior
Walnut is less prone to shrinking or expanding. This is because walnut has a higher density than oak.
Maintenance
The lacquer we use to treat the walnut makes it very low-maintenance. All you need to do is wipe the table with a damp cloth. Do be careful with red wine, tea bags, or oxidizing products, as these can damage the lacquer and cause stains. And that would be a pity!
