Influence Of Geographic Origin And Soil Properties On Color Of Black Walnut Veneer, Douglas D. Stokke, Edward C. Workman Jr., John E. Phelps, Felix Ponder Jr.
Douglas D. Stokke
Walnut veneer frorn sites in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana was analyzed for color attributes and chemical properties. Veneer color also was compared to an industry color standard. Soil chemical and physical properties were measured on selected sites in each state. In general, walnut trees grown on soils with equal proportions of sand, silt, and clay have better veneer color attributes than trees grown on soils with high clay I sand or clay I silt ratios.
