Walnut

[Big Beech]

So, have seen this posted a few time and never thought I would be asking the question!

Customer has a walnut tree, how much is it worth

So, excluding all of the variables what's the going price per cubic feet? I am told it's big, but will wait and see on Sunday what's what!

Anyone want to buy it?

[Shane]

No, please, not again.

Short answer - whatever someone is willing to pay for it,

now.... where's that video clip?

You need to run from customers like this, not walk.

Not as much as they think.

[se7enthdevil]

let us know some specifics once you've seen it and we'll take it from there.

 

is the tree down? can you see the heartwood? it will be very dependant on that.

can you see the heartwood? it will be very dependant on that.

 

Absolutely the critical point.

 

Walnut can be tremendously variable - a 2ft dbh tree can have anything from half an inch of sapwood to no heartwood at all. Generally, as the tree slows down the heartwood/sapwood ratio improves but you can't really tell until it is down. You also need to check the heartwood at the top more than at the bottom as this is what determines the useful board width.

 

Walnut is often short, particularly if it is open-grown. Not a problem but bear in mind that a 4ft length is of minimal value whilst 8ft is considerably more useful.

 

I bought a walnut butt from someone on here last year. It was of modest size and we were both happy with a modest price. I was also very happy with what I ended up with. I would be happy to buy another butt if a similarly mutually beneficial arrangement could be reached, but not as far away as you are

Probably keen. Depending on the usuals.

 

How's that for commitment!?

Like rot, included mesh fencing, and the customer thinking it's worth £5k?
