Black Walnut's unique color and character are bringing it back as a favorite for furniture, paneling and wood carving. Little wonder. Its combination of workability and beautiful grain are hard to beat. This is just one of 52 expertly selected hardwoods at J. E. Higgins Lumber Company, which offers Northern California customers 7 million ft. of kiln dried lumber and over 200,000 sq. ft. of warehouse.

A lumber for every purpose.
