Chestnut Wood

A warm-toned hardwood with a straight, coarse grain and distinctive character marks, historically used in American furniture and cabinetry. Antique American chestnut is rare and highly valued due to the chestnut blight that devastated native trees in the early 1900s. Modern cabinetry labeled chestnut may use reclaimed wood or imported species. The wood stains to rich, warm tones and adds rustic heritage character to kitchen designs.
