Live Edge Kiln Dried Walnut

Improved dimensional reliability

Kiln drying brings English Walnut to a balanced internal moisture level, allowing the timber to adapt evenly to interior environments. This helps boards retain their shape and accuracy once installed.

Reduced risk of movement or checking

Controlled drying relieves internal tension within the wood, significantly reducing the likelihood of warping, splitting, or surface checking during or after machining.

Ready for precise machining and finishing

Kiln-dried English Walnut works cleanly and predictably when cut, planed, and sanded. Stable moisture content also ensures excellent results when applying oils, waxes, or lacquer finishes.

Reliable for interior applications

Once kiln dried, live edge English Walnut performs well in furniture, cabinetry, and bespoke interior features where stability and appearance are equally important.

Alongside our kiln-dried English Walnut slabs, we also stock naturally air-dried walnut and boards currently progressing through the drying process for customers planning future projects. Our wider range includes a rotating selection of UK hardwood slabs, with new English Walnut pieces added as they become available.

If you are looking for a specific English Walnut slab size, thickness, or grain character, or would like advice on kiln-dried versus air-dried walnut, please contact us. We’re always happy to help you select the right timber for your project.
