Build or Renovate with Walnut Wood

Walnuts are a delicious addition to a wide array of dishes, but did you know that walnut trees produce some of the most durable, long lasting wood? Of course, you won't be adding walnut wood to your favorite meal. However, if you are thinking about updating your old, musty floors then you may want to look into the possibility of using walnut wood for your flooring! That's exactly what Kathy Scheidemen did on Greenovate in episode nine, and the outcome is an incredibly rich, beautiful, sustainable flooring that will impress visitors for years to come. This is especially a perfect option if you live in the California area, because the trees are local. Using wood that is plentiful in your neck of the woods cuts down on pollution from the transportation and delivery costs, to say the least.

Walnut wood can not only be used for flooring, either. Instead of going out and spending your hard earned money on expensive, name brand furniture, why not buy or build your own with this gorgeous wood? Walnut wood is being used for so many things. Take for instance, toys! Yep, everything from yo-yo's to wood powered pick up trucks are now incorporating the use of walnut wood. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination...
