This paper presents the results of a study on physical and mechanical properties of walnut wood grown in Kaghan Valley, Hazara Division. The results are compared with reported values of the same species in the literature. The strength properties of locally available walnut wood are somewhat better than those reported in India for the same species and in Canada and West Germany for Juglans nigra and J. regia respectively. The testing was done in air-dry condition in accordance with standard procedures.
