Black Walnut Pet Urns & Cremation Boxes
Black walnut is our premium timber tier — a deep chocolate grain and higher density that positions product listings well above standard pine.

Black walnut has a richer colour and noticeably higher density than pine, which gives the finished box more weight in the hand and a stronger presence on a memorial shelf. We cut walnut from kiln-dried boards and finish it with a low-sheen matte lacquer that protects the surface without hiding the grain.
Because walnut commands a higher unit price, most buyers use it for premium and mid-tier listings rather than entry-level ones. It pairs particularly well with a velvet interior lining, an engraved name plate and a rigid presentation box.
Walnut is stocked as finished cremation boxes and mini keepsake urns. Both share the same finishing line as our pine range, so a buyer can build a coordinated good-better-best assortment across materials with one purchase order.

Black Walnut Wholesale Questions
How does black walnut differ from pine for pet urns?
Black walnut is denser, heavier and darker, with a more pronounced grain. It is positioned as a premium material, whereas pine is lighter in colour and lower in cost, making it better suited to entry-level and DIY-paint ranges.
What finish is used on walnut urns?
Standard production uses a low-sheen matte lacquer that protects against handling marks while keeping the grain visible. A natural oil finish can be specified instead.
Can walnut urns be engraved?
Yes. Laser engraving produces strong contrast against the dark grain, and we can also fit a metal name plate engraved with a pet name and dates.
What is the MOQ for walnut products?
MOQ starts at 30 pcs for standard walnut models. Custom finishes or engraving may carry a higher MOQ depending on complexity.
