Walnut Prices Drop 8% in January

Walnut lumber prices dropped 8% this month according to the Hardwood Market Report, marking the third consecutive monthly decline.

Industry experts attribute the drop to increased domestic supply and slower furniture manufacturing demand. Cherry and maple prices remain stable.

Woodworkers planning large walnut projects may find current pricing favorable compared to 2024 highs.
