Butternut is a lightweight, easy-to-work hardwood prized for its warm, nutty brown color and soft, inviting grain. Often chosen as a more workable alternative to walnut, Butternut machines beautifully, carves effortlessly, and finishes to a smooth, natural luster. Its straight grain and gentle texture make it ideal for cabinetry, furniture, millwork, carving projects, and decorative applications. With its combination of beauty, stability, and ease of use, Butternut is a favorite among both woodworkers and carvers looking for a refined yet approachable material.
