Bastogne Walnut, also called Paradox, is a rare hybrid tree resulting from a cross between an English Walnut and a Black Walnut species. Bastogne Walnut is a favorite for large caliber rifles because of its closed pores and hardness. It can take hard recoil. The wood can have very beautiful color and high fiddleback, and is either very beautiful, or simply ugly.
Many people in the marketplace confuse Royal Walnut, which is a cross between Claro Black and Eastern Black, with Bastogne. In today's marketplace, Royal Walnut has been sold as Bastogne for many, many years. Royal Walnut also has high fiddleback, great color, and great hardness, which is why it is so easily confused with true Bastogne. It is also a great wood for large calibers because of its hardness. On our website, we distinguish between Bastogne/Paradox and Royal Walnut Hybrid wood.
