北海道の森林、木材の宝庫
HOKKAIDO's WOOD
The latitude zone spanning from 41 to 46 degrees, which includes Hokkaido, is blessed with abundant temperate hardwood forests. Particularly, the Hokkaido Daisetsuzan mountain range is a treasure trove of high-quality hardwoods. The rich temperate hardwoods in this region offer exceptional materials for Doto-Store's wooden products. By using these resources thoughtfully, we can create environmentally-friendly, long-lasting products that align with our vision of making the world a better place through exceptional design. Let's continue our collaboration with wood suppliers and factories to explore how to maximize the potential of these materials.

WALNUT 黑胡桃木
ABOUT WALNUT
Features Over Time:
Changes from a deep tea color to a warm gold hue with use, enhancing its natural shine.
Description:
Black walnut wood is one of the world's most sought-after hardwoods, often likened to the "Rolls-Royce of furniture woods." It's prized for its unique texture and distinctive "ink flow" grain patterns. Because it's both rare and beautiful, it comes with a higher price tag.
The wood's calm color tones and stunning grain make it a perfect fit for any interior, whether you prefer a classic or modern style. Black walnut grows slowly in harsh, cold conditions, resulting in a wood that's both sturdy and lightweight. It's easy to work with and finish, and it resists warping and deformation.
The wood's heartwood can vary from deep tea colors to purplish-black or reddish-purple hues, creating a diverse range of looks. It's not just great for making furniture like chairs, tables, and cabinets; it's also a popular choice for high-end car interiors. Black walnut has been a cherished wood for centuries.
This exquisite wood is ideal for adding a touch of luxury to your home or car interiors. Shop now to discover the beauty of black walnut wood!
名列於世界屈指可數銘木之一，被稱做「家具材中的勞斯萊斯」。
黑胡桃木擁有獨特的觸感，擁有「墨流」波紋的木紋，由於有著美麗的花紋再加上能採收的量相當稀少，因此在市場上通常以相當高的價格進行買賣。
沉靜的色調與美麗的木紋能醞釀出獨特的氣場與厚實感，不論是古典或現代風格的室內空間都能互相調和。
由於黑胡桃木生長緩慢，在嚴寒的環境中生長而成，因此材質堅硬有韌性，但同時相當輕巧，具有容易加工處理以及塗裝的特性。
再加上經過加工後不易彎曲變形，因此常用於製作來福槍的槍托或樂器等。
心材除了有深茶色，有時也會顯現出紫黑色或是赤紫色，從邊材到心材部分描繪出的漸層色彩，形成了豐富的表情。
不只可用來製作椅子、桌子、收納櫃等等的家具，也常作為高級車內的木飾板材料，是自古以來最受歡迎的木材之一。
