The Source: Premium North American Walnut
At Kumo Home, we source only the finest North American Walnut, renowned for its rich tone and consistent grain. By working directly with certified mills in the U.S. and Canada, we guarantee every plank meets stringent quality and sustainability standards.
Moisture Control for Lasting Durability
Wood with elevated moisture content is prone to splitting and insect infestation. That’s why we kiln-dry our North American Walnut to an optimal 8–10% moisture level. This precise range stabilizes internal cellular structure, reduces shrinkage, and keeps pests at bay—ensuring your heirloom-quality piece stays pristine for years.
Hardness and Structural Stability
Classified as a hardwood, North American Walnut combines high density with excellent corrosion resistance. These attributes make it ideal for large-scale solid-wood furniture, including dining tables, sideboards, and bed frames. Its innate strength delivers both weight-bearing capacity and dimensional stability, so you can enjoy a perfectly level surface after every move.
Hand-Rubbed Finish for True Depth
Our artisans apply four coats of eco-friendly, low-VOC lacquer in an open-spray process. Before finishing, the wood is hand-rubbed with proprietary dyes to enhance the natural grain, revealing a warm, deep walnut hue. The result is a silky-smooth finish that highlights every knot and variation.
