English Walnut

[IronMike]

Hello all, 

 

To begin, I'm having trouble uploading photos from my phone. So I know the answers to my queries may be hard to give. But basically, I'm after some ball park figures on what money one could realistically expect to get for some walnut timber. Main stem would go in about two pieces, both about 7ft with 7/8ft circumference. Then there are some funky unions, and a further load of less diameter limbs. If I can work out how to add photos I'll do so. 

 

Any help or info great received. Thanks in advance.

Looks like you Sussed how to upload pics anyway

Yes Steve! Was a problem with the end user, not the website

you need to show the colour of the heartwood and the ratio of heartwood to sapwood.

 

it varies quite a bit in walnut from trees that have gorgeous deep brown and streaky timber that will be used in furniture and turning to trees that are all sapwood and are used for firewood.

it is unfortunate but if the trunk has failed and there are rot pockets above in the branches it is likely that part or most of heartwood is decayed and may not be usable, you will find out by crosscutting to explore, good luck in finding sound brown wood !
