My understanding is that American walnut tends to be a lot darker than European walnut.

Obviously there can be quite a bit of variance in color even within a single species of wood, so I think Constantines is just giving the above as 'typical' to demonstrate the average appearance.

I did once mistakenly order some American walnut - and it definitely finishes much darker brown than the wood on our Philcos.
