I assume it is because it was grown in France perhaps.

What is in that picture appears to be just run-of-the-mill straight grained American Walnut (Juglans nigra) despite the snide remarks of some of the less mature here. Last edited by dahermit; April 12, 2018 at 09:12 PM. |

Thanks. Obviously you know more than I about Walnut varieties, but the board was originally advertised as "French Walnut", and I bought it as such, some 55 years ago. Only repeating what the seller told me, as I had never been to France. I was not familiar with the varieties at all, at that time. I guess you couldn't trust everyone, even back then ! But, no matter to me, as I like it anyway. I honestly didn't know why he called it "French Walnut", unless as I assumed, it was grown in France ! But, I didn't know, and it doesn't matter to me. Nothing "snide" here, someone asked a question & I answered the best I could.

Very likely it snuck in to up the price on all Walnut.
That was before we had a truth in lending law (or had)
