Butternut

Butternut (Juglans cinerea) is in the walnut family and is sometimes referred to as “white walnut” for the resemblance to walnut’s deep brown coloring and similar grain. However, it is relatively light in weight and moderately soft. It is somewhat coarse in texture and grain, but machines easily and finishes well.

The sapwood of butternut is narrow and ranges from whitish to light brown with heartwood that is brown with some darker and/or reddish streaks.

Its distribution is from Southern New Brunswick and Maine, west to Minnesota. Its growth area extends as far south as northeastern Arkansas and eastward to western North Carolina. Unfortunately, due to an infectious fungus, called Butternut Canker, the Butternut tree is quickly dying out.
