For what it's worth, there's an old maritime superstition that black walnut
is unlucky on boats.

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
of high gloss UV blocking varnish, but I am interested in knowing if it
is resistant to rot and such.

Thanks!
