Tzalam (Mayan Walnut) Project Lumber Packs

The Durable, Sustainable Alternative to Black Walnut

Elevate your woodworking projects with our Tzalam (Mayan Walnut) 6.5 & 10 Board Foot Project Lumber Pack. Sourced from the lush forests of Mexico and Central America, Lysiloma latisiliquum is a premier exotic hardwood celebrated for its sophisticated aesthetics and rugged durability.

Why Choose Tzalam? Often compared to American Black Walnut or Koa, Tzalam boasts a color palette ranging from light reddish-tan to deep, dark brown, often accented by purplish streaks. Its fine grain and high natural polish make it a favorite for "statement" pieces that require a high-end finish.

Key Features:

• Superior Durability: Naturally resistant to decay and insect attack, making it suitable for both indoor heirlooms and outdoor applications.

• Workability: Despite its density, Tzalam glues, turns, and finishes beautifully. It is known for taking a high natural luster that enhances its "curly" figure.

• Sustainable Choice: An excellent, moderately priced alternative to traditional walnuts and mahoganies.

• Versatility: Ideal for high-end cabinetry, musical instruments, decorative turnings, and boat building.

Note: As a natural product, individual boards may vary in color and grain pattern, ensuring your final project is truly one-of-a-kind.

Wood is a natural product, and pieces may vary slightly. Due to wood movement, shrinkage, and expansion, please measure each piece carefully.  Dimensioned within +/-1/8” of size listed
