Your Trusted East Indian Walnut Wood Supplier
Nature’s Strong Hardwood
East Indian Walnut Wood Naturally Refined and Graceful
East Indian Walnut Wood, commonly referred to as Acacia or Desi Walnut, is a beautiful and durable hardwood native to the Indian subcontinent, particularly found in regions like Kerala, Karnataka, and parts of Central and Eastern India. Despite the name “walnut,” it is botanically different from American Walnut, yet shares similar visual and structural qualities. East Indian Walnut features a rich blend of dark brown to golden hues with pronounced grain patterns, offering a striking natural aesthetic. Its medium-to-coarse texture and interlocked grain give it a warm, earthy appeal that enhances both rustic and modern interior styles. The wood matures in dry to semi-humid climates, giving it a naturally resilient structure ideal for long-term applications.
At Kantilal & Sons, we source the finest East Indian Walnut timber, selecting only well-seasoned logs to ensure optimal strength, stability, and finish. Known for its remarkable resistance to termites, moisture, and decay, East Indian Walnut is highly valued by furniture makers, architects, and interior designers for its balance of beauty and toughness.
