About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago.

Walnut wood is a genus of deciduous trees found natively in temperate parts of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Walnut wood is a popular hardwood known for its rich, dark color and distinctive grain patterns. The wood is highly valued for its durability, stability, and attractive appearance, making it a favorite in countless applications.

One of the standout qualities of Walnut wood is its deep, warm, and inviting color. The heartwood of the Walnut tree ranges from a reddish-brown to a dark chocolate color, with occasional streaks of lighter sapwood. This color is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides natural protection against decay, insects, and fungi.

In terms of its physical properties, Walnut is a dense and hard wood, with a Janka hardness rating of around 1,000 pounds. This means it is highly resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks. Another interesting property of Walnut is its dimensional stability. Unlike some other woods, Walnut has a relatively low shrinkage and swelling rate, making it less prone to warping, splitting, or cracking in response to changes in humidity or temperature.

Besides its practical qualities, Walnut also has a rich cultural and historical significance. It has been used for centuries in fine furniture-making and is often associated with elegance, sophistication, and luxury. In fact, during the 17th and 18th centuries, it was considered one of the most prized woods in Europe and was used for ornate carvings, paneling, and veneers.

Today, Walnut wood remains a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from high-end furniture to architectural millwork and musical instruments. Its unique color, texture, and durability make it an attractive and versatile material for both functional and decorative reasons.
