Best Answer

Yes there is a difference.

Mexican Walnut is sometimes use as a commercial name for Guanacaste (different spellings are used in different countries) It is not related to the walnut family. It's a beautiful and relatively soft hardwood from Mexico and Central America. There is also a "Mexican Walnut" that grows in Texas and nearby states.

Woodworking Properties of Guanacaste:

Highly figured

Dark brown

Sometimes difficult to plane because of tear out and shredding

Dust is irritating. Respirator is highly recommended

For the first few weeks after finishing it may have an irritating odor.

It's cheap, about $2/BF in Mexico

I make furniture from this wood for my home.

You really do need a $30 respirator from H Depot or similar.
