Care & Maintenance

1. Keep Dry: Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, high humidity, or direct water contact to prevent warping, rot, or discoloration.
2. Clean Gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning; for deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately to avoid water damage.
3. Protect from Sunlight: Avoid placing in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration of the natural wood grain.
4. Rejuvenate Periodically: For finished projects, reapply food-safe wood oil, beeswax paste, or clear coat every 6–12 months to maintain the finish, enhance the grain, and protect the wood.
5. Store Properly: If storing for extended periods, keep in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperature fluctuations to preserve the wood’s stability.

Why Choose Our Curved Black Walnut Slat?

📦 Shipping Note

What this size suits

At 76 x 10 x 3.8 cm, this walnut slat is a back slat or narrow seat slat: the section is slender enough to follow a deeper curve, and the length suits vertical back slats connecting back posts on dining and occasional seating. Walnut is specified here for the surface — the dark, figured grain reads as premium against a pale frame, or across a full walnut build.

Specifications

Applications

• Back slats — vertical or horizontal slats on premium seating.
• Seat slats — narrow seat boards where the dark figure is the point.
• Contrast programmes — walnut slats against pale ash or beech frames.
• Replacement programmes — matched to originals for classic seating restoration.

Working with walnut

Walnut is denser than ash, so it suits generous radii — which this section and curve respect. Blanks are figure-matched across the pieces that make up one visible element, because mismatched boards read as a defect even when every piece is sound. Finishes: oil or hard-wax oil keeps the surface repairable and lets the figure read; clear lacquer seals it for cleaning. Walnut lightens with UV exposure over years, so a renewable finish ages better.

How this size fits the walnut range

The walnut slats run from 55 cm to 136.7 cm. This 76 x 10 x 3.8 cm size sits at the short end — but unlike the 55 cm laminated piece, it is solid steam-bent, and unlike the 136 cm long spans, it is specified for verticals: a back slat that covers a standard dining back from seat to top rail, or a narrow seat element on occasional seating. The 3.8 cm section is the heaviest in the solid walnut range, which makes it the walnut option when the part carries load rather than just line — a seat board, or a back slat on seating that will be leaned on hard.

For longer walnut spans see the 136 cm slats; for compound curves see the laminated piece. This is the solid, short, load-carrying option.

Sets and matching for walnut programmes

Walnut slats are ordered in sets more often than any other species, because the figure is the reason walnut was specified — and a set of slats with mismatched figure reads as a fault even when every piece is sound. We supply sets selected together for colour and grain, so the verticals on one chair read as one piece of wood. Where a programme runs the same design repeatedly, the figure reference from the first run is kept on file, and the re-order is matched against it rather than re-selected.

For contrast programmes — walnut slats against a pale ash or beech frame — we can supply both elements on a matched schedule so the sets arrive together and the frame and slat colours are chosen against each other rather than in isolation. Tell us the frame species and finish and we will select the walnut to sit against it.
