Geez! Of course not. Black walnut is not English Walnut even though both are grown in North America. But California Black Walnut is very commonly referred to as Claro, and Claro is very commonly used to produce gunstocks.
Here is the question I was responding to. The word BLACK isn't in the question:
What kind of American walnut?
American Black Walnut can be Eastern, Texas, Arizona, or California Black Walnut since all of it is most commonly found in America. There is no distinct and separate species known as American Walnut or American Black Walnut. Those terms are simply misnomers commonly used for Eastern Black Walnut. There is a system of binomial nomenclature used by botanists to differentiate different species.
