Nogal (Tropical Walnut) – Premium Exotic Turning Blank 

Nogal (Juglans neotropica), often called Tropical Walnut, is a highly sought-after hardwood known for its deep chocolate-brown tones, smoky streaks, and refined elegance. Its rich coloration and naturally smooth texture make Nogal a favorite among woodturners and fine woodworkers seeking a material that is both beautiful and easy to work with.

This premium Nogal turning blank offers a medium density, straight to gently figured grain, and exceptional stability—ideal for pens, bowls, custom handles, bottle stoppers, knife scales, furniture accents, and high-end craft projects. Nogal machines cleanly, turns smoothly, and finishes to a silky, high-contrast sheen that highlights its warm browns, subtle purples, and dark veining.

More refined than domestic walnut and more stable than many exotic hardwoods, Nogal provides a luxurious look without the extreme density of woods like ebony or rosewood. It is prized for its balance of beauty, workability, and durability, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced artisans.

Bring the elegance of tropical walnut to your shop with these carefully selected Nogal wood blanks, chosen for consistent color, grain quality, and premium turning performance.
