Interesting. Walnut can come in different colours. I don't think there is much difference between English walnut and black walnut timber, although black is more abundant and I think has slightly better properties for making things with it. 

 

I haven't had the luck of using or milling any walnut as yet. But there is lots of reading online one can do. 😃

This Walnut looks like it could be a cracker. 700mm diameter and 4.5m long. He’s gonna cut it up for firewood now though because he’s taken the huff. 🤣IMG_1157.jpg

Don't tell me, you offered a couple of hundred and he said "It is worth more as firewood."?  It is worth pointing out that the soil it grew in is worth serious money if it is sieved, sterilised packed up into 25 litre bags and sold to hundreds of customers as topsoil.

Nothing remotely like that. After a year of dealing with him regarding this tree and a nice 900mm Ash he wanted Milled up and assisting him along the way his attitude and his threats to turn it into firewood as he claims Im charging to much for milling time I told him to burn the fecking lot then. :D

 

 Dave can testify to how my customers regard me. :D 

 

Ive passed his number to Dave as a matter of fact. We're playing good Cop/bad Cop. Dave will now sound like his savior and get a good price outta him.
