Bought this Papua New Guinea Walnut, learned yesterday it's a branding name. Not a walnut. This is the Dao or Paldao tree, a relative of cashews Not upset, the guy likely assumed as I did (he bought it 26 years ago), and the technical specs are pretty close to black walnut. Dracontomelon Dao is the scientific name. I think it's a beautiful timber so wanted to share.
