How well will black walnut work as cabinet tops, trim, and gunwales in
a boat? It will be covered in epoxy and then coated with several coats

is resistant to rot and such.

Thanks!

I would think it would have similar properties as mahogany. And UV
protection will be the same. They have used walnut in boats and boat
trimming for many years.

Try a google with "walnut" "wooden boat" "marine" and see what happens...
