clRcAssIAN WALNUT

The United States, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is probably the
largest consumer of Circassian Wal
nut, one of the worlds best known and
most expensive cabinet woods.
The high cost of Circassion Walnut
is due to the scarcity OF the beauti-
fully figured variety demanded for fur
niture and interior finish, for the tree
itself is more widely distributed than
almost any other Of commercial I'M
portance. The demand for the best
wood, however, has always outrun the
supply. Even in the eighteenth CEN
nry, when wars in Europe we're fire.
uuent. so much CtTcassian walnut was
used for gunstoCks, that the supply
twas seriously depleted. Early in the
nineteenth century the wood of 1900
trees was used for this purpose alone.
Single trees, containing choice burls
or fine bird's-eye figures nave sold for
more than $4,000.
The tree is native to the eastern
slopes CT the Caucasus and ranges
eastward to the foothills Of the Aima-
laya Mountains, frCm which it extends
southwark to northern India and the
Mountains of upper Burma. 1t has
been widely planted in Europe ana
the United States, in this country un.
der the name of English Walnut. The
wood grown here, however, has not
the qualities demanded by the cabinet
and furniture maker. Much of the
Ctrcassian Walnut now used comes
from the Black Sea and from other
parts of Asia.
According to Il circular just issued
by the Forest Service the demand for
Circassian Walnut has resulted in the
substitution of other woods. Our own
red gum is often sold as CirCassian
Walnut, and .butternut is also similar
in general appearance 10 the less high
ly figured grades. Many good African,
Asian, and South American woods re-
semble Clrcassian Walnut, though
none possesses the,magnifcent figure,
delicate tones, and velvety texture Of
the latter. The circular discusses the
supply and uses OF Circassian Walnut,
and those who wish to know how pos
