We source our American black walnut wood from the eastern coastal forests of the USA and Canada.Walnut has a dramatic grain in tones of rich chocolate with areas of paler sapwood. The deep chocolate colour can soften over time, becoming lighter and more amber toned. Therefore, if you are interested in ordering a collection of items from us, we recommend ordering them all at the same time. This way your solid walnut purchases will develop in colour together.
If you are looking to colour-match with your current furniture do request a timber sample from us. Please note that wood samples should be taken as indicative of the wood and finish. Consequently, it is not possible to guarantee an exact colour match.
Our full range of hand made bed designs are available in solid Walnut. Want to see more of the Walnut timber?

At Natural Bed Company, for our wooden beds, we only use timber from sustainable sources and never use endangered tropical hardwoods. Of course, all our timber is from a legally certified source, and is purchased under EUTR (European Union Timber Regulation). Our pine is from Scandinavia and our hardwoods – ash, oak, maple, cherry, walnut and beech are from the USA or northern Europe.
Natural Bed Company wooden beds only use timber from sustainable sources and never use endangered tropical hardwoods. All our timber is from a legally certified source and purchased under EUTR (European Union Timber Regulation). Our pine is from Scandinavia and our hardwoods – ash, oak, maple, cherry, walnut and beech are from the USA or northern Europe. Buying timber from managed forests ensures that new trees are planted and the cycle of planting, growth and harvest can continue. We think it is important that the amazing natural resource of timber should be used to make furniture that will last.
Unless otherwise specified, our beds are finished in a durable Natural look (low sheen) lacquer. This provides an easy to care for and durable finish that doesn’t compromise the natural beauty of the wood grain.
Solid woods may expand and shrink slightly with differences in temperature and humidity. Take care not place your furniture next to radiators or anywhere subject to any excessive changes in temperature or moisture content. If you are using our bedside tables – we recommend that any beverages should be placed on mats and spillages should be wiped up immediately to prevent marking.
To clean the wood finish, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and immediately buff with a dry cloth. Silicone based polishes should not be used on the wood too often as they build up and leave a sticky residue on the surface.
