It is best to keep the walnut wood for a period of time when it is a log, because the water of the walnut wood is too large. If the walnut wood is very wet and the walnut wood is thin, it is easy to warp when it is dry. It is best to put walnut logs for about a half year, wait for the water to evaporate almost, and then open the board to dry. Another benefit of this is that it is easy to control the drying shrinkage factor.

Why are the walnut boards stacked after baking still moth-eaten?
1. You can kill it with insecticide lamps, or try it with the poisonous smoke of cockroaches. If there is a cavity, put a suitable size sanitary ball (mothball) in the worm channel.
2. Use waste engine oil instead of pesticides and pour it into the worm's eye under high pressure until the oil is precipitated from the worm's eye (block them in time one by one), and then the oil can be drained.

Nine, the difference between walnut and walnut
Walnut and walnut are just a word difference, but they are indeed two different boards. What is the difference between these two boards?
1. The color of the center and edge of the walnut wood is different. The heartwood is generally from light reddish brown to tan, with a tinge of purple. The color of the wood is very beautiful and elegant, sometimes with beautiful spots or stripes. The material is light in color, mostly gray-white or light brown, and the furniture produced is very beautiful.
2. The hardness of walnut wood is moderate, the fibers are fine and uniform, and it has strong toughness, so the furniture made of walnut wood is relatively wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The roots of walnut are often accompanied by beautiful patterns, which can be processed into beautiful decorations. The surface of the furniture made of walnut only needs a simple treatment, and it is very good without any decoration, which makes people look rustic and return to the original.
3. The color of the core material of walnut changes gradually, from light brown to dark chocolate color. The most commendable thing is that its core material is accompanied by purple and darker stripes, so the furniture produced in this way is more than ordinary. It's more expensive, but it's also much more beautiful. The sapwood of walnut is milky white, and the overall combination is very elegant. The moisture content of walnut is relatively low, so the external dry humidity has little effect on walnut furniture.

The wooden structure of walnut is relatively delicate and belongs to the wood of medium hardness, so its core material has strong anti-corrosion ability, and its moisture content is low, so the furniture made of walnut is not easy to deform.

The difference between European walnut and black walnut:
European walnut has a rougher wood and uneven color. American black walnut is generally darker in color than its European cousin, and the difference between its heartwood and white wood is stronger than that of European walnut. To eliminate this distinction, black walnut is steam treated before being exported. It's also more textured, but its main advantage is that it acts as a longer and wider sheet. European walnut has low rigidity, moderate bending strength and shock resistance, but has good impact resistance.
