The beauty and richness of the American Black Walnut are on display within each WaterRower Walnut. The signature chocolate-brown coloration will vary in complexity and is complimented with hints of gray, red, and purple tones…though uniform in coloration, each piece of Walnut wood contains its own inimitable identity. Each rowing machine has been hand-finished with three coats of Danish Oil giving a deep luster and warmth to the wood.

Walnut Wood has been chosen due to its marvelous engineering properties, primary amongst these is its ability to absorb sound and vibration enhancing the WaterRower's quiet and smooth operation. Black Walnut, like all woods used in WaterRower rowing machine construction, is a premium hardwood with incredible longevity and dimensional stability. For reasons of ecology, all our woods are harvested from replenishable forests.
